Chat Interface Tips
Quick reference for the controls available in the Agent Q interface.
Full-Page Chat
The full-page chat opens when you click Agent Q in the left sidebar. It has a collapsible Chats sidebar on the left and the main chat area on the right.
| # | Button | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Search | Filter the Chats list by title or message content. See Search Conversations. | |
| 2 | New Chat | Start a new conversation. See Start a New Conversation. | |
| 3 | Refresh | Reload the Chats list to surface recently created conversations. | |
| 4 | Collapse | Hide the Chats sidebar to give more room to the chat area. Click to expand it again. | |
| 5 | Archived | Toggle the Archived section to access archived conversations (Restore, Delete). | |
| 6 | Smart suggestion | — | Click any suggestion chip to send it as the opening message of a new conversation. |
| 7 | Attach | Upload a document to send with your message. See Attach a File. | |
| 8 | Send | Send the message to Agent Q. |
Floating Chat
The floating chat is the persistent widget in the bottom-right corner of every page. Click the Agent Q button to open it; press Q to toggle it from anywhere on the page (except while typing in an input).
| # | Button | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | New Chat | Start a new conversation. | |
| 2 | Open full chat | Open the current conversation in the full-page Agent Q view. | |
| 3 | Close | Close the floating chat. | |
| 4 | Smart suggestion | — | Click any suggestion chip to send it as the opening message of a new conversation. |
| 5 | Attach | Upload a document to send with your message. See Attach a File. | |
| 6 | Send | Send the message to Agent Q. |
Stop a Response
While Agent Q is generating, the Send button becomes a Stop button. Click it to interrupt the response — whatever Agent Q produced so far is preserved as a partial response with a "Stopped" indicator.
The same control is available in the floating chat:
Paste Large Content
When you paste text of 1,000 characters or more into the input, Agent Q captures it as an attachment rather than inserting it into the input field. The pasted content appears as a removable panel labeled PASTED above the input. It is included with your message when you send it, giving Agent Q full context while keeping the input clean.
In the floating chat, the pasted content appears as a compact chip:
Attach a File
When your active LLM provider supports file uploads, click the Attach icon next to the message input, choose a document in the native file picker, and click Open. The selected file appears as a removable chip above the input — type your prompt and send the message, and the file is sent together with your text.
In the floating chat, the attached file appears as a compact chip:
Supported file types
| Category | Formats |
|---|---|
| Documents | PDF (.pdf), Word (.doc, .docx) |
| Spreadsheets | Excel (.xls, .xlsx), CSV (.csv), TSV (.tsv) |
| Structured data | JSON (.json), XML (.xml) |
| Plain text | Text (.txt), Markdown (.md) |
Limits
- One file per message.
- Up to 20 MB per file.
Provider coverage
The Attach icon is shown only when the active LLM provider supports file uploads. The button is currently available for:
- Anthropic
- Google Gemini (
google-gla,google-vertex) - Amazon Bedrock (Claude models)
- OpenAI
- Azure OpenAI
- Heroku
If your provider is not on this list, paste your content as text instead — see Paste Large Content above.
Note
Files are sent directly to your configured LLM provider as binary content. Qualytics does not store the uploaded file — only the text of your conversation is saved to history. The provider you have configured handles file content according to its own data-processing policies.
