Conversation Templates & Live Activity
Start chats faster with built-in AI personas, and track generation progress on the Dynamic Island.
Conversation Templates
Templates are built-in AI personas that configure LucidPal for a specific task. They appear as pill buttons at the bottom of an empty session.
| Template | Best for |
|---|---|
| Writing Coach | Drafting, editing, and improving text |
| Decision Helper | Weighing options and making choices |
| Meeting Prep | Briefing before a call or event |
| Brainstorm | Generating ideas without constraints |
Tap a pill to activate that persona. LucidPal adjusts its tone and focus for the selected mode. You can still send any message — the template just sets the initial context.
Start a Meeting Prep session before an important call. LucidPal can reference your calendar to pull in the event details automatically.
Live Activity / Dynamic Island
While LucidPal is generating a response, a "thinking…" animation appears in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones (iPhone 14 Pro and later).
- The animation starts the moment generation begins.
- It disappears automatically when the response is complete.
- You can navigate away from LucidPal — the indicator stays visible in the Dynamic Island so you know when to return.
On devices without a Dynamic Island, the activity appears as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen instead.
Live Activity updates happen on-device. No data is sent externally during generation.
