Chat on Mobile

The mobile app Chat is a unique feature that provides three different AI agents who can read, write, and manage your project content. It’s like working with a writing partner that can actually do stuff for you right there in your projects.

Accessing Chat

1. Click Chat in the bottom nav bar. You’ll be asked to select a project. (Alternatively, you can tap on Chat when already inside of a project)

2. Select your agent in the upper left, and start chatting

Note: The speech bubble in the top right of a document shows document comments (a different feature).

The Three Agents

Edna:

• Smart, critical, and concise

• Professional and straightforward

Alexis:

• A bit of a stinker (more playful personality)

Jeff:

• Friendly and supportive

• "Just a real nice guy"

The main difference between agents is personality and temperament. Choose based on the type of feedback and interaction style you prefer.

Chat Management

Important: Chat on mobile is different from web chat, both in capability and history. Conversation threads do not sync between platforms, and a chat you have on mobile cannot be seen on the web app.
