Chat

Have conversations with AI agents in AssistMe.

Overview

The Chat tab is your conversational AI interface. You can talk to AI agents that understand context, use tools, and help you accomplish tasks.

Selecting an Agent

Tap the header area at the top of the Chat screen to open the Agent Picker modal. From here you can:

  • Browse all available agents by name
  • Select a specific agent for your conversation
  • Use auto-assignment to let AssistMe pick the best agent for your needs

Auto-Matching

If you send a message without selecting an agent first, AssistMe will automatically match the best agent for your request based on the content of your message. You'll see a "Match: X%" score in the agent picker indicating how relevant each agent is.

Starting a Conversation

  • Tap the + (plus) icon in the header to start a new, fresh conversation
  • Type your message in the text input at the bottom (supports up to 10,000 characters and multiline input)
  • Press Send (or Enter) to send your message

Stopping a Task

While an agent is processing, the Send button turns into a Stop button (red square). Tap it to cancel the current task — the message will be marked as "Cancelled".

Conversation History

Tap the clock icon in the header to open the Conversation History modal. Here you can:

  • View all past conversations in a scrollable list
  • Tap a conversation to resume it
  • Delete a conversation by swiping left (mobile) or using the delete button

Conversation Management

On the desktop and web, conversations support additional actions:

  • Rename — Change the conversation title
  • Star — Mark important conversations for quick access
  • Archive / Unarchive — Hide conversations without deleting them
  • Show Archived — Toggle visibility of archived conversations

Understanding Responses

When an agent processes your message, you'll see:

  • A "Processing..." spinner while the agent is working
  • Structured task steps showing what tools and actions the agent is using (e.g., web search, code execution)
  • The final response once the agent completes

Message Status

Each message shows its current status:

StatusMeaning
PendingYour message is queued for processing
RunningThe agent is actively working on a response
CompletedThe agent has finished responding
FailedSomething went wrong — try sending again
CancelledThe request was cancelled

Viewing Details

Completed messages include a "Show details" toggle that expands to reveal the raw event steps — useful for understanding exactly what the agent did behind the scenes.

Interactive Responses

Sometimes the agent needs your input to proceed. When this happens, you'll see special interactive widgets in the chat:

Action Requests

A blue "Response Required" widget appears when the agent asks you a question. You can:

  • Tap a choice button if the agent provides options
  • Type a free-text answer in the input field
  • Submit your response to unblock the agent

Browser Screenshots

When the agent performs browser automation tasks, screenshots appear as inline images in the conversation so you can see what the agent is doing.

User Action Required

A yellow banner appears when the agent needs you to take an action outside of the chat (e.g., complete a step in a browser window).

Event Details

The "Show details" toggle on completed messages expands to show the full breakdown of what the agent did:

  • Thinking blocks — Expandable section showing the model's reasoning process
  • Tool calls — Each tool invocation (web search, code execution, etc.) shown with an icon and expandable details
  • Tool results — The output of each tool call, with file size indicator
  • Screenshots — Inline images from browser automation

Loading Older Messages

If a conversation has many messages, you'll see a "Load older messages" button at the top of the thread. Tap it to load previous messages.
