The conversation

Opening it

Press ⌘J (CtrlJ on Windows), or click the circular mark at the bottom right of any page. Press it again to close.

The drawer slides in from the right. If the work wants more room — reading a long draft, reviewing a composed piece — the expand control in its header blows it out to a full-width overlay with the conversation in a centred reading column.

Because it is mounted above the app rather than inside a page, moving around does not interrupt it. You can start a question on a listing, walk to a client, and finish the thought there.

The working context

At the bottom of the composer sits a small chip naming what Elle is currently looking at — a listing, a client, a recruit, a studio piece, your website.

• Open a page with something on it and the composer offers Seeing 14 Ridgewood Lane — Attach. One tap attaches it.
• Move to a different record and the chip clears itself, so you never accidentally ask about the last thing you had open.
• The × on the chip detaches it if you want to ask something general.

Each message you send carries its own chip, so scrolling back through the conversation shows what each question was about.

Starting points

An empty conversation offers a few chips drawn from your actual day — unread messages, tasks due, showings today, new buyer matches. They send immediately, without attaching whatever page you happen to be on.

Sending photographs

The composer takes image attachments. Drop them in, or use the attach control. Photographs are resized in your browser before they are sent, so a large camera file does not stall the conversation.

Once attached, refer to them by number: “Use photo 2 as the cover.” Photographs sent this way can create a listing, be added to an existing one, become your headshot, or be filed into your image library.

What you see while she works

The transcript narrates itself as she goes: a line telling you what she is doing now, then a result you can act on.

• Listings come back as a small card with the photograph and the facts.
• Studio pieces come back with a live preview of the actual artwork.
• Drafted copy — emails, narratives, launch pitches — comes back as a card showing the real text, with a Copy button and a link to where it was saved.
• Anything that failed says so plainly, in a quiet line, with the reason.

“Your call” cards

Consequential actions pause and ask. A brass-edged card appears in the transcript naming exactly what she is about to do, with Approve and Decline. Declining is not an error — she simply carries on without it.

The list is short and deliberate: publishing, inviting people, enrolling someone in a nurture plan, and moving contacts to or from an outside CRM.

Copy and redo

Under her most recent reply sit two quiet controls: Copy puts the text on your clipboard, Redo runs the same request again. Redo is useful when a draft is close but not right — it is a fresh attempt, not an edit.

History

The header’s history panel lists every conversation, each with a one-line summary of what it was about:

• Sessions — your rolling app conversations.
• Texts — one continuous thread with the number.
• Calls — one per call, titled by what the call was about.
• Mobile — the conversation from the iOS app.

When she picks up where you left off

Open the drawer after a quiet spell and earlier history is folded behind a Previously — … divider with a one-line summary. Expand it if you want it; otherwise you start clean without losing anything.

If the last conversation is more than half a day old, she starts a fresh one. Empty conversations are reused rather than piling up.
