Create and Manage Chats

In Ayunis Core, you conduct your conversations with the AI in so-called chats. Each chat is an independent conversation that is automatically saved.

Starting a New Chat

1. Click + New Chat in the left sidebar (or press Ctrl/Cmd + J)
2. Optionally select a skill, a language model, or a knowledge collection
3. Enter your message in the input field
4. Press Enter or click the arrow on the right side of the input field

The AI’s response appears in real time – you can read along immediately as the text is generated.

Agent Activity Timeline

When the AI works on your request, it often performs multiple steps in the background — such as searching the internet, reading documents, or creating files. These steps are grouped into a collapsible “Working…” panel that appears above the AI’s response.

• While the AI is working, you see a pulsing “Working…” label. Click it to expand the panel and follow the individual steps in real time.
• When the response is complete, the label changes to a summary like “5 steps”. You can expand the panel at any time to review what the AI did.

Each step shows what action the AI performed (e.g., “Searched the internet”, “Created document”, “Searched knowledge base”) and, where available, additional details such as the search query or document title.

Continuing a Conversation

The AI remembers the history of your chat. You can:

• Ask follow-up questions without repeating the context
• Ask for clarification if you want something explained in more detail
• Build on previous answers to refine results

Important: One Topic per Chat

Start a separate chat for each new topic or subject matter. If you discuss many different topics in a single chat, the AI loses track and the answers become less accurate. Example: Use one chat for “Response to citizen inquiry about parking permit” and a separate chat for “Draft annual report 2025”.

Practical Example: Refining a Letter

You: Write a response letter to a citizen inquiry about the processing time for a building permit application.

AI: [Creates a draft]

You: Make the tone a bit friendlier and add the current processing time of 6–8 weeks.

AI: [Revises the draft accordingly]

Stopping a Response

If the AI response is going in the wrong direction:

1. Click the Stop button (appears during generation)
2. The response will be stopped
3. Reformulate your request and send a new message

Copying Responses

To copy an AI response into another program:

1. Hover over the response
2. Click the Copy icon
3. Paste the text at the desired location

Copying Code Blocks

If an AI response contains a code block (e.g., a formula, a script, or a configuration example), you can copy its content directly using the Copy button in the top-right corner of the code block. After copying, a checkmark briefly appears as confirmation.

Adjusting Chat Title

Each chat automatically receives a title based on your first message. To change it:

1. Click the three dots (⋯) next to the chat in the sidebar
2. Select Rename
3. Enter a meaningful title
4. Confirm with Enter

A good title helps you quickly find important conversations later – e.g., “Response Citizen Inquiry Parking Permit” or “Draft Annual Report 2025”.

Deleting a Chat

If you no longer need a chat:

1. Click the three dots (⋯) next to the chat in the sidebar
2. Select Delete
3. Confirm – the chat will be permanently deleted
