Chat Interface and Controls

The AI Assistant is available from the Ask AI option in the Files.com Web App. Type your question or request in the chat input and submit it. The assistant streams its response in the chat window as it works, including any intermediate steps it takes.

The assistant understands your current location in the app. Phrases like "this folder," "here," "selected files," or "this tab" resolve to wherever you are when you send the message, so you do not need to type out full paths for the context you are already viewing.

When the assistant proposes a write action, it shows you the proposed change and asks for your confirmation before applying it. You can review, ask follow-up questions, or decline before anything changes.

Stop cancels an in-progress action. Retry re-sends your last message as a new turn in the same session. New Chat closes the current session and starts a fresh one. If the chat shows A chat is active in another tab, check your other browser tabs for the active session. If none is active, use New Chat to begin a fresh session.

The session also ends automatically when you log out or after a period of inactivity. The assistant preserves message history across page reloads within the same session, so refreshing the page restores your conversation.
