Types of chats
Selecting an agent via
@ in the composer or the ”+” menu when creating a chat turns it into an agent chat.
Screen layout
- Sidebar — New chat, Search (command palette), Agents, Flow, Configure (Skills, Knowledge, Connectors), and pinned / recent chats (grouped into Today / Yesterday / Last 7 days / Last 30 days)
- Message area — The conversation history. The AI’s activity (thinking, running tools, and so on) also appears here
- Composer — Message input, file attachments, and the reference pickers
- Workspace panel — A side panel that previews one file at a time, with the chat’s files, the console log, and — in an agent chat — that agent’s configuration a tab away

Models and chats
The model used in a chat is decided when the chat is created and stays fixed within that chat. To use a different model, start a new chat — or, when it is the agent’s model that changed, switch this chat to the agent’s new settings (below). You can check the current model on the model badge in the chat screen.When the agent’s settings change mid-chat
An agent’s configuration — system prompt, model, attached skills — is fixed when the chat’s session starts, so editing the agent does not reach a conversation that is already under way. When that happens, a banner appears above the composer: “This agent’s settings were updated — this chat is still running on the previous configuration.”- “Switch to the new settings” starts a fresh session on the current configuration; it applies from your next message
- Switching makes the AI forget this conversation’s working context. The visible history stays exactly as it is, but the AI no longer remembers what it had been working on
- You cannot switch while the AI is running — wait for the current reply to finish and try again
