Chat interface overview
Open the Personal Assistant by clicking Personal Assistant in the sidebar, or by expanding the assistant panel from any page. The interface has three main areas:- Message list — your conversation with the assistant, rendered with full Markdown, code highlighting, and table support
- Input bar — where you type or dictate your message, attach files, and choose a model
- Sidebar — quick access to conversation history and pinned sessions (visible in full-width mode)
Sending text messages
Assistant messages support Markdown, math (KaTeX), syntax-highlighted code blocks, and tables. Tables include a Copy table button and a Download CSV button in the toolbar above them.
Voice input
The assistant uses the browser’s Web Speech API for real-time voice transcription.Start recording
Click the Microphone icon in the input bar. The UI switches to a recording bar showing a waveform and an elapsed-time counter.
Speak your message
Speak clearly. Your words are transcribed into the input field in real time, including interim (in-progress) text as you speak.
Voice input requires a browser that supports the Web Speech API. Chrome is recommended. If the API is unavailable, a browser alert will inform you.

Conversation history
The Personal Assistant stores all sessions persistently. Access your history by clicking History in the assistant header. The history view shows conversations grouped by date: Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, and older sessions grouped by month. Each card shows the conversation title, a summary or topic chips, a message count, and a relative timestamp. Searching conversations Use the search bar at the top of the history view to search across your sessions. When you type two or more characters, the assistant performs a semantic search against your conversation history and ranks results by similarity score. Filtering and sorting Use the filter controls next to the search bar to:- Show All Conversations or Pinned Only
- Sort by Newest First or Oldest First
- Pin — move the conversation to the top of the history view
- Rename — set a custom title
- Delete — permanently remove the conversation (requires confirmation)
Custom prompts and reuse
The Personal Assistant surfaces context-aware quick actions at the start of each conversation based on the current page you are viewing. These actions appear as chips above the input bar and inject a pre-built prompt when clicked — no typing required. To reuse or edit a message you sent:- Hover over any user message to reveal the action bar.
- Click Edit to copy the message text back into the input field.
- Modify it and send again.
