## Overview

When you send a message to Julius in Slack, Julius will:

1. Create a new chat thread in Julius
2. Connect to any necessary data sources
3. Will write the necessary SQL, Python, or other code needed to answer your question
4. Run the code to complete the analysis
5. Return the results back to Slack

You can then add any follow up questions to the thread, and Julius will repeat steps 2-5.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<Accordion title="Does Julius use all context from the Slack channel?" defaultOpen>
  No. Each Slack thread is treated as a **separate Julius chat**, and the context for Julius is contained within that individual thread.

  This is different from **Learned Information** and **Custom Agents**, where knowledge can persist across threads via their respective data connectors.
