Understanding the interface

The three columns

Left	Switch between types (threads, knowledge, notes, loops and more) and browse the list. ＋New sits at the bottom
Middle	The selected thread's conversation, with the composer underneath
Right	The conversation outline, task list and similar. The width is adjustable and remembered

Toggle the sidebar with ⌘+S when you want to focus on the conversation.

What lives in the sidebar

The four main types are pinned to the top row, and the rest wrap onto an “other” row. The top row is a fixed four-column grid, so labels never get squeezed as items are added.

Type	What it's for	More
Threads	One-to-one work with an AI	Threads and the composer
Knowledge	Register project context and documents	Knowledge
Notes	Free-form notes and ideas; can become a thread later	Notes below
Loops	Run something repeatedly on your terms	Let it run on its own
Code	Read in a codebase you're developing elsewhere	Code projects
AI team	Split work across roles automatically	AI team
Compositions	Edit footage into a finished video	The editor
Skills	Build up reusable procedures	Skills
Agents	Your own personas and specialists	Custom agents
Phone link	Control from your phone and receive footage	Phone remote
Archive	Where things go when removed from a list	Archive below

Tip

Turning off Show “Compositions” (video editing) under Settings → Appearance & input hides compositions and the phone link from the sidebar. Handy if you never make video — nothing is deleted.

Creating something new

Use ＋New at the bottom of the sidebar. The menu opens upward and lists what you can create, each with a one-line description. If you belong to a team space, Shared thread, Shared knowledge and Shared code appear in the same menu.

Sorting and folders

Lists can be sorted by Recently updated, Created, Name or Manual. Choosing manual lets you drag items into a fixed order.

Knowledge and code lists can also be grouped into folders. Use the 📁 button on each row:

Move to folder — put it in an existing folder
New folder… — create one and name it
Move out of folder — take it back out

Folders show as headings you can collapse, with a count badge, and the open/closed state is remembered. Empty folders disappear on their own.

Note

Folders are purely visual. They don't affect equipment or where files are actually stored.

Filtering personal and shared

If you've joined a team space, lists can be filtered by Personal and Shared. Shared items are labelled with the space they came from. See Team spaces for the details.

Search and switching threads

Global search is ⌘+K
Opens the command palette to search across threads and items. The same key closes it.
In-thread search is ⌘+F
Searches the open thread. Suggestions (Tab to complete) appear, so Tab confirms one. Esc closes it.
Back to the previous thread is Ctrl+Tab
A switcher appears while held. Each press moves the selection, and releasing Ctrl commits the move. Reverse with Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

The full list is in Keyboard shortcuts.

The conversation outline

The right column lists the conversation message by message — blue for you, purple for the AI. A counter shows Your messages {n} / {total}, so even in a long thread you can trace where you asked for what. Click a row to jump to that message.

Notes

Notes are free-form. Toggle them with ⌘+J. Typing / in the body opens a menu for headings, to-dos, bullets, quotes and code. A note can be turned into a thread later.
