Interface tour

The main window has three areas: the conversation sidebar on the left, the chat area in the middle, and the input bar at the bottom — plus a few floating widgets that appear when needed.

Place a screenshot of the "whole main window" here (static/img/interface-tour-main-window.png), annotating the areas below.

1. Conversation sidebar (left)​

  • New Chat: each conversation is independent and can be Task Mode or Teach Mode.
  • Recent: past conversations in reverse-chronological order, with auto-generated titles.
  • Filter: show only Task or only Teach conversations; Teach-mode conversations carry a little "book" icon.
  • Delete: right-click / hover over a conversation to delete it.
  • The account area (current user) sits at the bottom-left.

See Conversation management for details.

2. Chat area (middle)​

Shows the messages of the current conversation. While a task runs you'll also see:

  • Tool-call cards — the input and result of each tool the AI invokes (read a file, search, run a command, look up the memory base…), expandable.
  • GUI action highlights — when the AI does computer use, a hint overlay appears on screen; the chat area shows progress like "Step N: done".

3. Input bar (bottom)​

  • Text box: type a message. Enter sends, Shift+Enter inserts a newline.
  • Image: attach a screenshot/image for the AI to see.
  • Record: start a screen recording or attach a saved recording (most used in Teach Mode — see Screen Recording and Voice Notes).
  • Teach-mode chip: when the conversation is in Teach Mode, a Teach chip appears to the left of the text box; while the conversation still has no messages you can click ✕ to leave Teach Mode. You can also toggle Teach from the menu next to +.
  • Send button: cycles through three states —
    • ▲ Send: submit the message;
    • ■ Stop: a task is running — click to abort the current response;
    • ▶ Continue: a task was paused — click it (with no input needed) to let the AI carry on.
  • While a recording is being processed in the background you can still type and add other attachments, but the Send button is temporarily disabled until processing finishes.

4. Floating widgets (appear on demand)​

  • Recorder control bar: a small semi-transparent bar shown while recording, draggable, with voice annotation, text annotation, history, pause / continue, and end controls. By default, it is not captured in the footage.
  • Annotation input: opens when you click Annotate during a recording, or use the shortcut (Alt+I on Windows, Cmd+Shift+I on macOS); the green waveform button records voice annotations.
  • Recording preview: after recording, play / pause / replay what you just captured.
  • Task progress overlay: in Task Mode, shows the TODO list progress and the latest activity.

Settings​

A gear icon opens Settings: switch the UI language (English / 中文), use advanced options such as Streamer Mode and update checks, or log out. See Settings.
