Chat relies on the selected and available content.

If something is not present, ask for clarification.

You can also check the relevant screen.

The goal is to stay faithful to your content.

When the text is very long (e.g., 60,000+ characters), Neurovia splits it into parts.

Each part is summarized, then those mini-summaries are merged into a global synthesis.

This helps cover the whole document, not just the beginning.

Neurovia splits the text into blocks and extracts themes/anchors (images, emotions, tensions, goals).

Then lyrics are written based on that global map.

The magic wand automatically detects themes in the source text (up to 10).

You can select themes, and during a generation/regeneration, the song focuses mostly on those.

A long conversation is split into segments (topic changes, key moments).

For each segment, Neurovia extracts the main ideas, recurring themes, and what changed.

Then a clear report is rebuilt: synthesis, themes, highlights, and next directions.

Common causes: unstable connection (Wi-Fi/cellular/VPN), temporarily overloaded service, or lyrics that are too long.

Try again, temporarily disable a VPN/filtering if you use one, and shorten the lyrics if they are long.

Open the magic wand, choose themes, then generate (or regenerate) the lyrics.

A report helps structure what was diffuse.

It helps put words to feelings.

It supports both intellectual and emotional integration.
