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.

TemplateBest for
Writing CoachDrafting, editing, and improving text
Decision HelperWeighing options and making choices
Meeting PrepBriefing before a call or event
BrainstormGenerating 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.

tip

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.

note

Live Activity updates happen on-device. No data is sent externally during generation.
