Messages

Collect thoughts, organize them by topic, and get AI-powered responses — all in one view. Messages supports both typing and voice input for hands-free interaction.

Opening Messages​

Desktop: Click Messages in the bottom menu bar. A side pane slides in from the left. Click again to close it.

Mobile: Tap Messages in the menu bar to open the full-screen messages view.

The Three-Column Layout​

Messages uses a three-column interface:

ColumnPurpose
Topics (left)Organize messages by topic with color-coded labels
Messages (center)Your message stream with text and voice input
Responses (right)AI responses grouped by participant

Each column can be collapsed by clicking its header to save screen space. Collapsed columns show a vertical label you can click to re-open.

Sending Messages​

Type in the text area at the bottom of the center column:

  • Enter sends the message
  • Shift+Enter adds a new line

After sending, the AI processes your message and the response appears in the right column.

Voice Input​

Click the microphone button next to the text area to start voice input. Your speech is transcribed in real time and appears in the text area as you speak.

Response Modes​

Toggle between two modes using the mode button next to the microphone:

  • Auto mode (lightning icon): Your message is automatically sent when you stop speaking
  • Manual mode (hand icon): Speech is transcribed into the text area but not sent — review and press Enter when ready

Working with Topics​

Topics let you categorize your messages with color-coded labels.

Create a Topic​

Click the + button in the Topics column header.

Rename a Topic​

Double-click the topic name to edit it inline.

Assign a Message to a Topic​

Click the tag icon on any message to choose a topic. Assigned messages display a colored indicator on their left edge matching the topic color.

Filter by Topic​

Click the eye icon next to a topic to toggle its visibility. Hidden topics and their messages are filtered from the message view.

Responses​

AI responses appear in the right column, grouped by participant. Responses can include:

  • Text answers
  • Tool results displayed as visual cards (when the AI executes actions like creating nodes)
  • Follow-up questions from the AI

Conversations​

View History​

Click the clock icon in the center column header to see past conversations with timestamps.

Load a Conversation​

Click any conversation in the history list to load it.

Start Fresh​

Click New to begin a new conversation.

Tips​

  • Use topics to separate different threads of thought within a single session
  • Auto mode works well for brainstorming — just talk and the AI responds continuously
  • Manual mode is better when you want to review and refine your message before sending
  • Collapse the Topics or Responses columns when you want to focus on the message stream
