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
  • Input Field: Where you type your messages and queries

  • Chat Controls: Options for managing your conversation
  • 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:
