-
Write your message. Type in the box that says "Type your message...". Press Enter to send, or Shift+Enter for a new line.
-
Add anything extra. Use the paperclip (Attach files) to attach files, Search web to allow a web search for this message, and the tier button to choose Auto, Quick, Balanced, or Deep.

Find the thread later. Your latest chats appear under Recent Chats in the sidebar. View all opens All Chats.
Expected result
Your message is sent and the reply streams in. The chat is saved in the workspace you were in.
Tips
- Start from a project or staq to chat with that context. See Add project, task, issue, note, or file context.
- Rename a chat with the pencil next to its title.
Troubleshooting
- You are sent to the sign-in page. Your session may have expired. Sign in again and retry.
