Chat Basics

​

The Composer

The footer holds three controls.

• + menu. Files, the Tools control for Web Search and Web Fetch, Library and Active Context, and, on narrow layouts, Enhance prompt.
• Model control. The model, its privacy level, and the reasoning effort. Click it to open the picker.
• Send. Becomes Stop while a reply streams. Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a line (swap them in Settings).

Type / to insert a saved Prompt or @ to mention a Knowledge entry. Paste an image or document to attach it. See Files and Images.

​

Classic and Incognito Chats

+ New starts a chat; its split menu offers both kinds. Start new chats as incognito in Settings makes Incognito the default. Whether a chat is saved is separate from the privacy level of its requests; see Privacy in the App. A new chat resets the composer: draft, Fusion, web tools, persona, knowledge, and model return to their defaults. A reply still streaming in the previous chat finishes in the background.

​

The Rail

• Folders group chats. Drag a chat onto a folder, or use Move to folder. Deleting a folder returns its chats to All chats.
• Pin floats a chat to the top. Drag rows or use Move up and Move down for a manual order.
• Rename, Share, and Delete are in the row menu. Delete is permanent for this browser.
• Search matches titles, message text, and summaries. Enter opens the first result.
• On desktop, drag the rail edge to resize or collapse it. On phones it is a slide-in drawer.

The browser keeps up to 100 conversations for local search. Titles come from the first message, capped at 56 characters.

​

Replies

Every reply has a copy button and a Receipt. Reply actions:

• Regenerate reply and Fork chat (copies the conversation up to that point into a new chat).
• Copy reply and Copy with receipt (appends model, privacy level, and token counts).
• Share reply and Share proof digest on attested replies. See Receipts and Proof.
• Tune Persona turns feedback on a reply into durable preferences for the active persona.
• Delete reply, in two clicks.

Your own messages offer Copy submitted prompt and Edit submitted prompt. After an edit, Enter regenerates or forks; choose in Settings under Enter after edit. While a reply streams the view follows it only when you are near the bottom; otherwise Jump to latest appears. Long chats on wide screens show a prompt navigator on the right edge.

​

Toolbar Actions

Edit (rename), Summarize, Download, Share, and Delete.

• Summarize sends the transcript to your summary model (set in Settings; Current chat model uses the active route, including Encrypted). On Advanced and Max, Add to Knowledge follows. Incognito chats cannot be summarized to Knowledge.
• Download writes a Markdown file with front matter.
• Share creates a browser-encrypted copy; the key lives in the link fragment. See Sharing.

Long saved chats are compacted automatically: older turns are summarized to fit the context window, and a banner shows how many messages were archived.

Keyboard Shortcuts

⌘K (Ctrl+K) opens the command palette. Sequence shortcuts are pressed one key after another. The full list is in Help under Keyboard shortcuts.
