# Chat

> Talking to your company assistant: conversations, context, slash commands, and the Data Assistant.

Chat is your daily front door to Concierca AI. You talk to your company's assistant, which can query your data views, use your connected tools (email, calendar, and more), recall company knowledge, and save what it learns — all from one conversation.

**Where:** Sidebar › **Chat**.

## The chat screen

* **Message area** — the running conversation. Replies stream in live. A new conversation starts empty; just type your first message.
* **Header (right side)**:
  * **Context meter** — a percentage ring showing how much of the model's context window this thread uses. Click it to see input/output token usage and exactly which company knowledge was auto-injected into the conversation. The ring turns amber at 60% and red at 80%; near the limit a *"Context almost full — new chat"* button appears, because long threads get expensive and unstable.
  * **Model picker** — the current model, click to change (see below).
  * **Tools** — how many tools this session can use, click to manage.
  * **History** — opens your recent conversations.
  * **＋ New chat** — starts a fresh thread.

### Conversation history

The History button opens an overlay with all your past conversations, grouped into **Today / Yesterday / This week / Older**, with a *"Search conversations..."* box. The list follows your **active department** — switch departments in the sidebar and the history follows. Hover a conversation to reveal **Delete** (with a confirmation dialog: deleting a thread permanently removes all its messages). Thread titles are set automatically from your first message.

## The composer

The input box reads *"Ask anything, type / for commands..."*. Press **Enter** to send, **Shift+Enter** for a new line. While a reply is streaming, the send button becomes **Stop**.

### Model picker (⌘⇧M)

Choose which AI model answers:

* **Auto (recommended)** — the platform picks the best model per question. This is the default unless you or your admin chose otherwise.
* Search all available models, filter to **Free** models, see each model's price and context length, and **star** favorites to pin them to the top.

### Tools panel

Shows every integration this chat session may use — e.g. Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, GitHub, Slack, Notion, plus any MCP servers your company added. Toggle each one on or off **for this session**. The *Manage connections* link at the bottom takes you to the Connections page to add new integrations.

### Context picker

Click the ✨ **Context** button (or type a bare `/`) to open the context picker with five tabs: **Skills**, **Knowledge**, **Memory**, **Data / Views**, and **Tools**. Tick anything you want the assistant to work with:

* Selected **knowledge and memory entries** appear as removable chips above the input and are injected into the assistant's context.
* Selected **skills** appear as colored chips (with *Clear all* when several are active).
* Selected **views** scope the assistant's data queries.
* The Knowledge and Memory tabs include a **+ New entry** button so you can create an entry on the spot — it is saved and attached immediately.

### @-mentions

Type `@` to mention a **data view** (`@view_name`) or a **skill** directly in your message. Use ↑/↓ and Enter to pick. Mentioned views and skills are enabled for that message.

## Slash commands

Type a command at the start of your message:

| Command   | What it does                                                                        |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/save`   | Save a memory (your facts, preferences, project context)                            |
| `/decide` | Log a decision                                                                      |
| `/learn`  | Save knowledge (timeless, shared with the company)                                  |
| `/stage`  | Save project context (active work)                                                  |
| `/note`   | Save a quick observation                                                            |
| `/recall` | Search your memories + knowledge; results appear as a card with links               |
| `/forget` | *Not yet functional* — shows a hint; remove memories from the Memories page instead |

Example: `/decide We move the launch to Q3` → the entry is classified automatically, then a **confirm card** appears for review before anything is stored. If you write something like "remember this" in plain language, the assistant shows a hint chip suggesting the matching command.

### Confirm cards

Every save (slash command, the assistant's suggestion, or a *Save as…* button) shows a card in the transcript **before** anything is stored. It previews Title, Intro, Class, Category, Scope, Department, Importance, and Tags, with a body preview toggle. Buttons: **Cancel**, **Adjust** (edit all fields inline), **Save**.

| Field      | Notes                                                               |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Title      | max 120 characters                                                  |
| Intro      | 1–2 sentences, max 400 characters — this is what search finds later |
| Class      | memory or knowledge                                                 |
| Category   | pick from your company's categories                                 |
| Scope      | personal (user) / department / company-wide (global)                |
| Department | shown when scope is department                                      |
| Importance | slider 0–10                                                         |
| Tags       | comma-separated, max 5                                              |

If a similar entry already exists, the card warns you before you save a duplicate. On success the card is replaced by a green *"✓ Saved as …"* line.

## Working with replies

* **Tool calls** the assistant makes (searches, mail, calendar, data queries) appear as collapsible cards with a status pill (Pending / Running / Done / Error). Expand one to see the exact arguments and result.
* **Tables** in an answer render as table cards with **Copy as TSV**, **Download CSV**, and **Maximize** (full-screen view).
* Hover a reply for **Copy** and **Retry** (regenerate).
* Under every reply: **Save as Memory**, **Save as Knowledge**, **Save as Skill** — each opens a pre-filled confirm card.
* After each reply a follow-up chip appears (*"Suggest a next step"* or *"Ask a follow-up question"*).

## Command palette (⌘K)

Inside Chat, ⌘K opens a quick palette with actions such as **New chat**, **Chat history**, and quick prompts (today's inbox summary, today's calendar, knowledge search).

## Who am I talking to?

Chat talks to one company assistant (your admin can customize its persona under Branding). There is no per-message agent picker in Chat — your configured **agents** work through triggers, schedules, and missions, and report to you via the [Inbox](/guide/inbox). Your **active department** (sidebar switcher) shapes the conversation implicitly: it filters your history, sets the default department for saves, and selects which department knowledge is auto-injected.

## The floating Data Assistant

On data pages (any Data view and the Inbox) a floating chat button appears bottom-right (*"Query your data"*). It opens the **Data Assistant** — a compact chat panel pre-scoped to the view you are looking at, with its own model picker and the same context picker, tables, and save buttons. Notes:

* The panel can be expanded to a large view or closed with ✕.
* Conversations in the floating panel are **not saved** to your chat history.
* Slash commands are not available here — use the main Chat page for those.

## Permissions

Chat is available to every user. The assistant can only read data **you** are allowed to see — your department's views, your own memories, and content shared with you. Usage is billed against your company's credit balance.
