Click New Chat button in the sidebar
Press Cmd/Ctrl + N
Click the ➕ icon in the top bar

A fresh conversation appears with an empty input box.

AI responds in real-time with streaming text:

Text appears word-by-word
Code blocks get syntax highlighting
Markdown formats automatically
Links and references are clickable

Continue the Conversation

Ask follow-up questions to dive deeper:

Can you explain the light-dependent reactions in more detail?

AI remembers the conversation context.

Types of Questions You Can Ask

Information & Explanations

Getting Better Responses

Be Specific

❌ Too Vague
✅ Specific

Tell me about Python

This is too broad - AI doesn’t know what aspect you’re interested in.

Explain Python's list comprehensions with 3 practical examples

Clear focus makes it easy to provide relevant information.

Provide Context

❌ No Context
✅ With Context

How do I optimize this?

What needs optimizing? Performance? Cost? User experience?

How do I optimize this React component for performance? 
It re-renders frequently and causes lag. [paste component]

Context helps AI provide targeted solutions.

Break Down Complex Requests

❌ Too Much at Once
✅ Step by Step

Create a full e-commerce website with user auth, payment 
processing, inventory management, and email notifications

This is overwhelming - better to work step by step.

Let's build an e-commerce website. First, help me set up 
the project structure and user authentication with React and Firebase.

Then follow up with subsequent steps.

Specify Format and Style

Basic Request
With Format Specification

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Being Too Vague

Problem: “Help me with my project”Better: “Help me debug this React component that’s not updating when props change”Specificity gets better results.

Expecting Mind Reading

Problem: “Fix this” without contextBetter: Explain what’s wrong, what you expect, and what you’ve triedAI needs context to help effectively.

Not Following Up

Problem: Accepting the first response even if unclearBetter: Ask follow-up questions for clarificationConversations work best when interactive.
