Organising Your Work

The navigation drawer, Projects, and the data rooms a conversation’s attachments create — where your work lives once a chat is no longer the only thing open.

The drawer

The side drawer is the app’s navigation hub, opened from the menu button or by swiping in from the edge of the screen. It slides over the conversation rather than replacing it, so the chat is never lost, and in Arabic it opens from the right.

Inside: a search field that searches your whole history rather than filtering the rows already loaded; a compose button; a collapsible Projects section; and the conversation list grouped under Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month and Older. The list pages in as you scroll and can be pulled down to refresh. A pulsing dot marks a conversation whose answer is still being written — and it keeps burning after you navigate away, because the assistant carries on regardless of what is on screen.

The on a row opens a Chat options sheet with Rename, a project action, and Delete. Deleting always asks first and names the conversation; renaming applies straight from the dialog. Both update the list immediately, and deleting the conversation you are currently reading returns you to a fresh chat rather than a dead screen.

Two rows sit at the foot of the drawer: all data rooms in the workspace, and the active workspace with its plan. Below them, your own profile row opens settings. Unlike the web sidebar, the drawer carries no credits meter — the balance lives in settings instead.

Projects

A project groups related chats and gives them shared context: a file library every chat in the project can read, and project instructions the assistant follows in all of them. A chat belongs to at most one project.

The drawer lists up to five active projects and expands one in place to show its chats, with a View project row at the end so expanding and opening are never the same tap. View all projects opens the full list, where an Active / Archived toggle is the only route back to something archived.

A project screen reads top to bottom as its context and then the things drawing on it: New chat in this project, a Details block for name, description and instructions behind a single Edit control, the project’s Chats with an Add existing chat row, and its Files with per-file status, a retry for anything that failed, and an Add files row. The header menu carries edit, share with the workspace, archive and delete.

A chat started inside a project is attached on the first send, not when the screen opens, so backing out leaves nothing behind. Deleting a project deletes its file library but keeps its chats, which return to the standalone history.

Moving a chat is done from the chat options sheet — Move to project for a standalone chat, Remove from project for one already filed. The web moves a chat by dragging it onto a project; there is no honest touch equivalent inside a scrolling drawer, so mobile uses the menu instead.

Data rooms

A data room is the file library that feeds a conversation. The first file attached to a chat silently creates one called Chat Files. Files move through pending and processing to ready, and only ready files are usable by the assistant — which is why sending is blocked while anything is still being indexed. A banner above the composer reads “N of M files ready” and turns red the moment anything fails.

Tapping the banner opens the room: its name and description (both editable in place), one row per file with a status badge, and a preview of the text the indexer actually extracted — the same text the assistant reads. A failed file can be retried in place; the two failure messages are plain — the file had no readable text, or it could not be processed at all.

A room can be shared with the whole workspace as a single on/off switch, moved to another chat, detached and kept in the workspace, or deleted with its indexed files. The drawer lists every room you own or have been shared, grouped into In chats, In projects and Unattached — but only chat-attached rooms open from the phone. Project rooms are managed from the project screen.
