Chat

Chat is your conversational interface with Enia. Unlike traditional code assistants that require precise commands, Chat allows natural language conversations about your code.

Single Conversation

Enia maintains one continuous conversation — there are no separate chat sessions to manage.

  • All your messages are preserved in chronological order
  • Scroll up to view your entire conversation history
  • Previous context is available to reference at any time

Sending Messages

Basic Input

  1. Type your message in the input field at the bottom
  2. Press Enter or click Send to submit
  3. Enia will respond with relevant assistance

Adding Context

Enhance your messages with additional context using the @ symbol:

Context TypePurpose
@FileReference specific files in your project
@WebSearch the internet for up-to-date information
@GitReference commits or branches
@SignalReference a detected Signal issue
@TaskReference a previous Task

See the Context page for detailed usage.

During AI Response

Stop Generation

  • The Send button changes to a Stop button
  • Click Stop to halt generation immediately

Chat from Signal

When you click Discuss on a Signal card (Cmd+D), Chat opens with the Signal context automatically included. This allows you to ask questions about the detected issue before deciding to apply the fix.
