Chat Interface

Navigate Sidekick's chat UI — threads, attachments, keyboard shortcuts, and more.

The chat window#

Sidekick's interface is a persistent chat within your workspace. Messages are organized in a single thread per conversation, with support for multiple conversations.

Composing messages#

Type in the input area at the bottom of the screen. Press Enter to send, or Shift+Enter for a new line.

Keyboard shortcuts#

Proposals#

When Sidekick wants to take an action, it creates a proposal card inline in the chat. The card shows:

  • What the action will do
  • The data involved (email body, calendar details, etc.)
  • Approve / Edit / Reject buttons

Each proposal includes a unique identifier, the action to be taken, a description, the relevant data, and a status (pending, approved, or rejected). You can review every detail before deciding.

Conversation history#

All conversations are saved and searchable. Use the sidebar to switch between conversations or start a new one.

warning Deleting a conversation removes its messages but preserves audit trail entries in Observe. Actions are never lost.
