Workflow

A cleaner home for project chats

Expand projects in the sidebar to open their chats, or use the new-chat button to start a conversation. Project pages now have a simpler chat list and compact instructions with Project settings beside the title. Recently opened projects reopen without waiting, and longer chat lists load as you browse.

Permalink
  • Rename, pin, or delete a chat directly from its menu inside an expanded project.
Model update
