Chats

A chat is a private conversation between you and one of your agents: your own Gluon, or a custom agent. Nobody else can see it. Chats keep every message until you delete them.

Starting a chat

• Home starts a new chat with your Gluon. The chat is saved when you send the first message.
• Select an agent under Your agents in the chat list to start a chat with it. A chat’s agent is fixed when the chat starts.
• ⌘⇧O (Ctrl+Shift+O) starts a new chat from anywhere.

You can attach up to eight images, 8 MB in total, to a message: PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF.

What the chat list shows

Each row shows the chat’s title and its latest message. Unread replies are counted. Instead of the latest message, a row shows what the chat needs, most urgent first:

Status	Means
Approval	A tool call waits for you to approve or deny it
Question	Gluon asked you a question and waits for your answer
Working	Gluon is replying
Failed	The last reply ended in an error; send again to retry

Search the list by title, or press ⌘K to search chats, groups, agents, pages and settings together.

Sending while Gluon works

You don’t have to wait for a reply to finish:

• Queue: a message you send while Gluon is replying waits above the message box, and goes when the current reply ends. Up to 10 messages can wait. You can edit a waiting message with the pencil or remove it with the trash button.
• Steer: choose Steer on a waiting message, or press ⌘↵ (Ctrl+Enter) instead of Enter, to send it right away. Gluon finishes the tools it is running, then reads your message before continuing.
• Stop: stops the reply and any running tools. Messages you had queued are held; each shows Send so you can decide whether it still goes.

While Gluon waits for an approval or an answer from you, queued messages wait too.

Questions, plans and cards

Gluon can show more than text:

• Questions: Gluon may ask you a question with choices. Pick one, type your own answer or Skip. Sending a new message instead also moves on.
• Plans: for longer work, Gluon shows a checklist of its steps and ticks them off.
• Cards: an answer can be a card: steps, a comparison of two to four options, facts, a chart, a timeline, or a small interactive component.
• Tool steps: each tool Gluon uses appears as a compact row you can open to see its input and result. Once a reply finishes, its steps fold away.

Done and Snooze

Keep the chat list tidy without deleting anything:

• Mark done moves a chat into the Done section at the bottom of the list.
• Snooze hides it until a time you choose: in 1 hour, in 3 hours, this evening (6 PM), tomorrow (9 AM) or a custom time up to a year ahead. When it wakes, the chat returns and you get a “Snoozed:
