Start a conversation
How to open a new chat against one of your bots.
The Chat Workspace is where you talk to bots you own or have access to. Every conversation is bound to one bot — you can't ask Bot A and then mid-conversation switch to Bot B.
Open the Chat Workspace#
Click Chat Workspace in the left sidebar. If you have no conversations yet, the panel shows a "No conversations yet" empty state.
Start a new chat#
Click New chat in the top of the conversation list. Keyboard shortcut: ⌘K on Mac, Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux.
A dialog appears titled Start new conversation. Select the bot you want to talk to from the list. Only READY bots are listed.
Bots that aren't selectable#
Bots show their status in the picker. Statuses other than READY (UNTRAINED, PENDING, OUTDATED) include a hint:
- "No data — train now" — bot has no documents.
- "Untrained — train now" — bot needs training.
- "Processing…" — training currently running.
- "Outdated — retrain" — bot is still chatable but you may want to retrain first.
Click the hint to jump to the bot detail page and resolve.
Ask a question#
Once you pick a bot, the conversation opens. Type into the input bar at the bottom and press Enter to send. The bot streams its response in real time.
The placeholder reads "Ask something..." when the bot has been used, or "Start chatting with ..." for a fresh bot.
What if no bots are ready?#
If your account has no READY bots, the new-chat picker shows "No bots are ready. Please train a bot first." Visit your Dashboard and train at least one bot.
Daily credit limit#
Each message consumes credits. When you hit the daily cap, you'll see the credit-limit banner at the top of the conversation. Wait for midnight UTC reset or upgrade.
