Agent Window & Session Management

Agent Window

In the File Window, you focus on editing your markdown files.

In the Agent Window, you focus on your sessions with your Agent. These sessions could include long chat discussions, research sessions, complex multi-file tasks, and AI-assisted development.

The Agent Window consists of three main areas:

  • Left Sidebar showing your Sessions. You can Search sessions here and select them

  • Central transcript area to converse with agent with full conversation history, tool call visualization, streaming content display

  • Right panel showing you files edited and read by the agent and prompts used in the conversation

Session Management

Run multiple parallel sessions.

Manage Sessions by:

  • Searching

  • Filtering

  • Resuming

Relate Sessions to Documents and Documents to Sessions.
