The Chat app gives you two ways to communicate inside your simulation: workspace channels for team-wide conversations, and direct persona chat for one-on-one exchanges with individual AI characters. Both modes are active at the same time and serve different purposes depending on what you are trying to accomplish in your scenario.Documentation Index

Two modes of chat
- Workspace channels
- Direct persona chat
Workspace channels are shared spaces where multiple participants can contribute to a conversation. They work like a team messaging tool — you create a named channel, and messages posted there are part of a persistent thread visible to everyone in that channel.Channels are useful for coordinating team activities, sharing updates, or running discussions that involve more than one stakeholder.
Working with workspace channels
Viewing your channels
When you open the Chat app, the current state of your workspace chat loads automatically, including all existing channels and their message histories.Creating a channel
Name your channel
Enter a channel name — up to 80 characters. Choose a name that reflects the channel’s purpose (for example, “project-alpha” or “leadership-updates”).
Sending a channel message
Select a channel from the list and type your message in the input field. Messages support up to 4,000 characters. Press Enter or click Send to post.Working with direct persona chat
Viewing available personas
The Chat app sidebar shows all AI characters active in your session. Select a character to open your conversation history with them.Starting a direct message
If a persona is not yet listed in your direct messages, you can initiate a conversation by selecting their character ID. The conversation thread is created automatically and persists for the rest of your session.Sending a message to a persona
Type your message in the input field at the bottom of the chat window and press Enter or click Send. Messages to personas support up to 4,000 characters. The persona’s reply appears in the thread once it is generated.Channels vs. persona chat: what is the difference?
| Feature | Workspace channels | Direct persona chat |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | Multiple participants | One specific AI persona |
| Persistence | Full history saved | Full history per character |
| Use case | Team coordination | Relationship building, 1:1 conversations |
| Context | Scenario-aware | Character-aware and scenario-aware |
The characters available in your chat are determined by your scenario. Different scenarios include different personas, and each has their own role, personality, and agenda within the simulation.
