Chat with a project

The Conversations tab is where you talk to a Project, App, or Data Collection. Type a question, attach a file, point at something the Project already knows, and watch it work. You stay in control: you can interrupt at any time and your corrections stick.

Audience: analysts

Start or resume a conversation

Open the Project and click the Conversations tab. The composer sits at the bottom.

• Start a new thread: type your question and press Enter to send. Use Shift+Enter for a new line.
• Resume a thread: click any thread in the rail on the left. Your draft does not get lost when you switch.

Bring in references with @

Press @ in the composer to open the reference picker. The picker groups everything the Project knows about:

• Files. Anything in the Project's files. Start typing to search, or type a path with slashes to browse a folder.
• Skills. Reusable capabilities the Project can call by name.
• Memories. Facts and rules the Project has learned.
• Integrations. Connections like SharePoint, Slack, or Gmail. If an integration needs setup, the picker disables it and shows why.
• MCP. Mounted Model Context Protocol servers.
• Data Collections. Collections attached to this Project.

Use arrow keys to choose, Enter to insert. Each reference becomes a chip in your message. Remove a chip with backspace or by clicking its close button.

Attach files

Drag a file into the composer or click the attach control. Documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, images: anything your Project can read becomes part of the message.

Watch the activity stream

While your Project works, the activity stream shows each step as a card: which tool ran, which file got read, which step finished. When a result is ready (a table, a draft, a file), it appears inline alongside the reply.

If you scroll up while a run is still going, a Jump to latest pill appears. Click it to snap back to the bottom. It hides itself once you are close enough to the latest message.

Cancel a run

If the conversation is going the wrong direction, click cancel. The current turn stops, the conversation stays, and you can send a fresh message. Your Project keeps the prior turns as context, so you do not need to repeat what you already told it.

Reconnect after a network drop

A small connection indicator near the composer shows the live status. In normal use it stays out of the way. If the network drops, the indicator turns; reconnect and the conversation picks up.
