Chat Screen

The Chat Screen is your primary interface for interacting with Mamentis AI. It provides a familiar, conversation-based experience while leveraging the power of multiple AI models behind the scenes.

Interface Overview​

The Chat Screen consists of several key areas:

  • Conversation Area: Where your chat history is displayed

  • Quick Actions: Shortcuts for common tasks

Starting a Conversation​

Basic Chat​

Simply type your message in the input field and press Enter. Mamentis will:

  1. Analyze your request
  2. Select the most appropriate AI model
  3. Process your query
  4. Return the response

Example:

You: Explain machine learning in simple terms
Mamentis: Machine learning is like teaching a computer to recognize patterns...

Advanced Queries​

For more complex requests, you can be specific about what you need:

  • Code Generation: "Write a Python function to sort a list"
  • Analysis: "Analyze this data and provide insights: [data]"
  • Creative Writing: "Write a short story about space exploration"
  • Problem Solving: "Help me debug this JavaScript error: [error]"

Chat Features​

Multi-Turn Conversations​

Mamentis maintains context across multiple messages:

You: What is photosynthesis?
Mamentis: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants...

You: How does it differ in desert plants?

  • Break down complex queries

Unexpected Results:

  • Provide more context or clarification
  • Try rephrasing your question
  • Switch to a different model specialized for your task

Error Messages:

  • Check if you've hit usage limits
  • Verify file upload formats
  • Ensure proper permissions for integrations

Keyboard Shortcuts​

  • Enter: Send message
  • Shift + Enter: New line without sending
