Chat & sessions

How do I start a new session?

In the chat, you tell the agent what you want done. Every conversation runs in its own Session that you can find again later.

Click Chat in the sidebar. If you're already in the chat, the click starts a fresh conversation.
Type your task into the input field (marker 1) and send it. Or click one of the suggestion cards below it, which is sent directly as a message.

Chat with input field and the Auto, Attachment and Modes buttons

The session gets its name automatically from the first words of your first message (50 characters max). Until then it's called New conversation („Neue Unterhaltung“).

How do I work with the agent?

Write what you need in plain language. Press Enter to send and Shift+Enter for a line break. While the agent is working, the send button turns into a red Stop (Stopp) button that cancels the response.

Chat with a response from the assistant, below it the input field with model choice, attachment and modes

Below the input field you control the next message (see image above):

Auto (marker 2): picks the AI model. More in the article Model choice, dictation & Canvas.
Attachment (Anhang) (marker 3): attaches a file.
Modes (Modi) (marker 4): Plan, Web Search, Deep research or Brainstorming, see the article Plan mode, web & deep research.

If you type / at the start of a line, a command menu with working modes opens: /plan, /debug, /explore, /fix, /refactor, /test and /docs.

Every response and every code block has a Copy (Kopieren) button. If the agent asks a question, a card to answer it appears above the input field. You also find open questions in the Inbox.

How do I attach a file?

You can give the agent an image, a PDF or a text, spreadsheet or code file (for example .txt, .md, .csv, .json, .docx, .xlsx).

Click Attachment (Anhang) below the input field (marker 3).
Select the file. It appears as a small tile above the input field. Click the × to remove it again.
Write your message and send it. The file goes along.

A file can be 10 MB max, otherwise you see the notice File too large („Datei zu groß“). Large images are downsized automatically before sending.

How do I find and manage sessions?

Your chats are listed in the sidebar, grouped by Today (Heute), Last 7 days (Letzte 7 Tage) and Older (Älter). A click opens the session with its full history.

Hover over a session and click the three-dot menu.
Choose Share (Teilen), Rename (Umbenennen) or Delete (Löschen).
For Rename (Umbenennen), type the new name and confirm with Enter (cancel with Escape).

Delete removes the session immediately and permanently, without asking. It can't be restored.

How do I share a session with colleagues?

You can share a session with people in your organization so they can read along or work on it with you.

Open the session menu (three dots) and click Share (Teilen). The Share session (Session teilen) window opens.
Search for the person in the Search users… (Benutzer suchen…) field and select them.
Set the permission: Read only (Nur lesen) or Read & write (Lesen & Schreiben).
Click Share (Teilen). The person is then listed under Shared with (Geteilt mit), where you can also remove the share.

If a session is shared with you as read only, the input field shows Read-only access („Nur Lesezugriff“). You can't reshare a session that was shared with you.
