Context Window

The maximum amount of text an AI system can process and remember during a single conversation or task, measured in tokens. Think of it as the AI's working memory—everything outside this window becomes invisible to the system, affecting its ability to maintain coherent long conversations or analyse lengthy documents. Businesses working with AI language tools should understand context window limitations when planning document analysis, customer service conversations, or content generation tasks. Modern business AI tools typically handle context windows ranging from several thousand to hundreds of thousands of tokens.
