# Chat

> Talk to the agent behind a suggestion, or to one about the whole page.

## Chat about a request

**Chat** on a suggestion's card (<kbd>Mod</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd>, or `gc` in vim) opens a conversation with
the agent that made it. It still knows everything from its run. You can also open the chat from the margin pill of a
request that's still being worked on, and watch the agent work.

If the agent suggests something new in the chat, it replaces the suggestion on the card. If you've already decided on
that request, the new suggestion goes at the end of the page instead.

## Chat about the page

The chat button opens a chat about the whole page. It uses the page's model, and you can change it from the picker in
the header (the same picker as the [agent panel's](https://solipsist.sh/docs/reference/agent-panel/#header)). Suggestions it makes go at
the end of the page and work like any other.

When the agent replies with a suggestion, an answer or a decline, the chat shows it as a card:

The conversation is saved with the page and picks up where you left off next time you open it. **New chat** starts
over.

## Closing and coming back

Closing the window (the close button, <kbd>Escape</kbd> or a click outside) doesn't stop a reply. Open the chat again
and you're back in it. If you send a message while the agent is replying, it reads it after its current step and
answers in the same reply. **Stop** ends a reply.
