Selecting an Assistant

You can choose an assistant in three different ways, allowing you to use the method that is most convenient for you.

1. Calling Assistant from the Dropdown Menu

All available assistants can be selected from the dropdown menu located in the upper left corner of the screen.

To choose an assistant:

  • Click on "New Chat"

  • Click on the dropdown menu

  • Select the desired assistant (a checkmark will appear next to their name)

To stop working with an assistant:

  • In the same menu, uncheck the assistant you wish to be unselected.

Note: For assistants to function properly, do not switch them during a conversation. Always initiate a new chat before selecting an assistant.

2. Calling Assistant via Shortcut

You can quickly select the necessary assistant using a hotkey. By default, the hotkey to call assistants is the "@" symbol. You can change this key in your profile settings.

To choose an assistant:

  • Open a new chat

  • In the text input field, type the "@" symbol or your customized hotkey if you have altered the default one.

  • Select the desired assistant.

3. Selecting Assistant from the Sidebar Menu

The sidebar can be used not only for managing assistants and creating new ones but also for selecting any assistant.

To choose an assistant:

  • Open "New Chat"

  • Open the left sidebar

  • Select the "Assistants" section

  • Choose the desired assistant.
