Chat: conversations, the composer and handing over to an agent

Chat is not a tab of its own but a section in the Agent tab. On the left, under the agents, is the Chats list, and the plus next to it opens a New chat.

On the Beginner level the section is hidden. Turn it on in Settings › General, switch Chats section.

The field at the bottom shows who you are writing to: Message …. Enter sends, Shift + Enter starts a new line. Drop a file right onto the field or add it with the paper clip.

Below the field you pick the model and the Reasoning effort. While an answer is coming, the send button turns into Stop.

The Project pill below the field: Choose folder, and the chat can read the files of that project. Switch to general chat drops the folder.

Chat only reads. It never gets the right to change files that agents have, which is why the bottom right always says Read-only.

The Memory button at the top shows what the chat keeps as context and lets you manage it. Turn memory off in the slider pill below the field: Use Chat memory.

The line under the field shows the state: Chat memory on or Chat memory off.

Right-click a message: Copy, Attach quote as context, Use as draft, Remember in Chat.

Right-click a chat in the list for Rename and Archive.

Agreed on what to do? Click Hand to agent, write what to do and pick the agent. With no text the agent gets Continue from this chat. It starts a new conversation, and the whole chat goes along as context.

A line Handed to Builder · 16:40 appears under the chat title, and a click on it opens that agent conversation.

TipThe button is active once the chat has messages and is not answering right now.

It works the other way too: in an agent's composer click the plus and pick Use chat…. The chat becomes a chip above the text, and the cross removes it.

The agent gets the chat along with your message. A very long chat is cut from the start, so the oldest messages are left out.

Continue in Code opens a new agent pane in the Code tab, and its first message is the whole conversation. The pane starts in the chat's project folder, or in your home folder when the chat has none.
