The message box

The message box is the whole interface. Its placeholder tells you the three command keys:

Ask anything — / for files and skills, $ for bots, @ for connectors

The controls

Section titled “The controls”
  • +, on the left. Attach a file from your computer, and reach the tools your administrator has enabled.
  • The model name, on the right. Which model answers. Most people never change this; see choosing a model.
  • The microphone. Dictate instead of typing.
  • The arrow. Send. Enter sends, Shift + Enter starts a new line.

Attachments

Section titled “Attachments”

Drag a file onto the message box, paste an image, or use +. The file appears as a chip above what you are typing, and you can take it off again with its × before you send.

Files you attach this way are also kept in Files, so you can reach them later with / instead of uploading the same document twice.

Choosing a model

Section titled “Choosing a model”

The model picker names the model answering you. Your administrator decides which ones appear. As a rule:

  • the default is chosen to be the sensible everyday option;
  • a faster model is better for short questions and drafting;
  • a stronger model is worth the wait for analysis, long documents and anything you will send to a client.

If you are not sure, leave it alone. The difference matters far less than saying what you actually want.

Steering a reply as it arrives

Section titled “Steering a reply as it arrives”

You do not have to wait for a reply to finish. Type while it is being written and send — Kuumba takes the correction into account rather than starting over. Use it when you can already see the answer going the wrong way.
