Chat Interface Overview

The chat interface is your primary workspace for interacting with AI agents. It's divided into three main panels.

Left Panel: Conversations

New Chat Button: The blue "+ New chat" button at the top creates a fresh conversation thread. Use this when starting a new topic to avoid context confusion.

Conversation List: All your chats are listed below, showing:

Preview text of the most recent message
Timestamp (e.g., "Now," "4 days ago")

Click any conversation to load it in the main area. The active conversation is highlighted in blue.

You now have complete control over your workspace layout:

Close the writing section to expand your chat area for better conversation visibility
Close the chat section to maximize your writing workspace
Adjust pane sizes by dragging the dividers between sections
Toggle visibility using the eye icon to quickly show or hide panels

💡 Tip: Choose the layout that best suits your current task. Need to reference chat history? Keep the chat open. Focused on writing? Hide the chat for maximum screen space.

- Characters with spaces
- Selection-specific counts (select text to see counts for that section only)

Document Management System

Multiple Documents

One of the most requested features is now available: create and manage multiple separate documents!

How it works:

Each document is a separate workspace with its own chapters and content
Documents can be associated with specific chats
Create new documents using the "Create Document" button

Creating a New Document

Click the new document button
Enter a document name (e.g., "Implementation Plan")
Add a short description to help TenderB understand the document's purpose
Click "Create Document"

Working with Documents

Continue in current chat - Keep working in your existing conversation within the new document
Start fresh - Click "New Chat" and select which document to work in
Focus on one document - When working in a specific document, other documents remain unedited

Document Settings

Access document settings via the gear icon:

Change document name - Update the title at any time
Edit description - Modify the document's purpose description
Mark as template - Save documents as templates for reuse with prefilled content

💡 Tip: Using separate documents helps you organize your work by project, section, or tender response, making it easier to manage complex proposals.
