Chat with an employee

Each employee has one conversation with you that continues over time. There is no New Chat button.

How the chat behaves

Replies arrive as separate messages, like a text conversation. Progress updates are their own messages.
A small status pill shows what the employee is doing: queued, thinking, using a tool, or waiting on you.
Three dots show while it is typing.
Under your latest message you see "Sending…", "Delivered" or "Read" with a time.
Older messages load when you scroll up. A "Latest" button takes you back to the end.
A quiet "Self-improved" line may appear when the employee learns or improves a skill.

Open the employee from the sidebar or Home.
Type in the message box and press Return. Shift and Return starts a new line.
If it is already working, an empty box becomes Stop. If you type, the button says "Send now" and your words are sent as a follow-up.

Each reply has a copy action. Where thumbs are available, use them to tell the employee how it did.

If a message fails, your words and files come back in the box with Try again. Retrying will not send it twice.
If replies seem to stall, check the status pill. "Queued" means the work has not started yet.
If the chat looks like a stream of text with no separate messages, the text-message look is not on for your account.
