LISA Documentation

What is LISA?

LISA (Language Intelligence Semantic Anchoring) is a revolutionary approach to AI conversation management. Instead of copying entire chat histories between different AI platforms, LISA compresses your conversations into a structured JSON file that any AI can reconstruct accurately.

The Problem LISA Solves

Traditional AI chat platforms trap your context within their ecosystem. When you switch from ChatGPT to Claude or Gemini, you lose all conversation history and context. LISA breaks this limitation by creating portable, compressed snapshots of your AI interactions.

How It Works

1. Semantic Anchoring: Select how many anchors to extract and optionally specify focus areas — LISA's AI generates them automatically from your conversation
2. Intelligent Compression: LISA's AI analyzes your conversation and generates a structured JSON file capturing the key concepts and context from your conversation
3. Universal Portability: Upload your LISA file to any supported AI — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or Mistral
4. Context Restoration: Upload your LISA JSON file to any supported AI platform to restore full context automatically

Using Focus Areas

When compressing, you can optionally tell LISA what to emphasize:

• "technical decisions" — prioritizes architecture choices, implementation details, and constraints
• "action items" — surfaces tasks, owners, and next steps
• "open questions" — captures unresolved issues and things to follow up on
• "requirements" — anchors specifications and acceptance criteria

Getting Started

1. Choose your tier: Start with Free (5 compressions/day) to test the waters
2. Create a snapshot: Paste any AI conversation into the main app
3. Select your anchor count: Choose how many semantic anchors to extract (Free: up to 6, Enterprise: up to 24). Optionally add focus areas to guide what gets emphasized
4. Compress: Click "Compress" — LISA's AI generates the anchors automatically and produces a downloadable JSON file
5. Use anywhere: Upload the JSON file to any supported AI platform to restore full context and continue exactly where you left off

Restoring Context in a New Session

1. Open a new conversation on any supported AI platform
2. Upload your LISA JSON file using the platform's file upload feature
3. Ask the AI to reconstruct your context — for example: "Please read the attached LISA file and reconstruct the conversation context so we can continue."
4. The AI follows the embedded instructions and recovers your full session context

Choosing Your Anchor Count

The number of semantic anchors you request determines the granularity of what LISA extracts. LISA generates all anchors automatically — you never write them manually.

• 2–4 anchors: High-level summary — best for short conversations or when you only need the core outcome
• 6–8 anchors: Balanced detail — good for most sessions, captures decisions and key context
• 10–12 anchors: Fine-grained — ideal for complex technical sessions with many moving parts
• Up to 24 (Enterprise): Maximum fidelity for large, multi-topic conversations

Subscription Tiers & Limits

Using LISA Effectively

Best Practices for Semantic Anchors

• Mark Decisions: Anchor key decisions, conclusions, or action items
• Capture Context: Anchor background information needed for future conversations
• Highlight Insights: Mark breakthrough moments or unique perspectives
• Reference Points: Anchor specific code snippets, data, or examples

Example Anchor Placement

Conversation about building a web scraper:

[ANCHOR: "Requirements"] - Need to scrape 10k+ pages daily
[ANCHOR: "Tech Stack"] - Python + Scrapy + PostgreSQL decided
[ANCHOR: "Rate Limiting"] - Implement 2 req/sec with exponential backoff
[ANCHOR: "Error Handling"] - Retry 3x then queue for manual review
[ANCHOR: "Data Schema"] - Store raw HTML + parsed JSON separately

Report Types

LISA generates four types of reports from your compressed conversations:

Executive Summary

PRO+ High-level overview focusing on decisions, outcomes, and action items. Perfect for stakeholders who need the "what" without the "how".

Technical Detailed

PRO+ In-depth technical breakdown including implementation details, code snippets, and architecture decisions. Ideal for developers and engineers.

Quick Summary

FREE+ Brief overview of conversation topics and key points. Available on all tiers.

Detailed Analysis

PRO+ Comprehensive report covering all anchors, context, reasoning, and recommendations.

Custom Reports

ENTERPRISE Tailored report formats for specific business needs. Contact support to configure custom templates.

API Access

Programmatic access to LISA's compression engine is available for Pro+ tiers.

Authentication

All API requests require your license key in the Authorization header:

curl -X POST https://sat-chain.com/api/validate-key \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-license-key-here"

Core Endpoints

• POST /api/validate-key - Verify license and check tier limits
• POST /api/compress - Create new LISA snapshot
• GET /api/snapshots - Retrieve saved snapshots
• POST /api/generate-report - Generate formatted reports

Privacy & Security

Data Handling

• Encryption at Rest: All snapshots stored in PostgreSQL with industry-standard encryption
• TLS in Transit: All API communication uses TLS 1.3+ encryption
• No AI Training: Your conversations are NEVER used to train AI models
• Data Ownership: You own all LISA snapshots - export or delete anytime
• Payment Security: All transactions processed by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). We never store credit card data

Compliance

• GDPR-Ready: Architecture designed for data protection compliance
• Data Residency: US-based infrastructure (EU options for Enterprise)
• Right to Deletion: Full data export and account deletion available on request

Chrome Extension — Available Now (v0.48)

The LISA Chrome extension is live and ready to install. It lets you capture and compress conversations directly from supported AI platforms — no copy-pasting required.

What It Does

• One-Click Compression: Compress current conversation without copy/paste
• Sidebar Access: View and inject saved snapshots from sidebar panel
• Auto-Capture: Detects your conversation and compresses it with one click
• Quick Restore: Upload your LISA file to any AI to instantly reconstruct context
• Usage Analytics: Track compression efficiency and cost savings

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Q: My compression failed with "rate limit exceeded"
A: You've hit your daily compression limit. Upgrade to Pro for 50/day or wait until midnight UTC for reset.

Q: The AI says it can't read my LISA file
A: Make sure you're uploading the JSON file — not pasting its contents as text. All supported platforms can read uploaded JSON files directly.

Q: Can I share snapshots with team members?
A: Yes! Team and Enterprise tiers support multiple license keys. Each team member can access shared snapshot libraries.

Q: How long are snapshots stored?
A: Indefinitely while your subscription is active. Free tier: 30 days retention. Canceled accounts: 90-day grace period before deletion.

Q: Can I export my data?
A: Yes! Go to Settings → Export Data to download all snapshots as JSON.
