Chat on Mobile
Mobile Chat
The mobile app Chat is a unique feature that provides three different AI agents who can read, write, and manage your project content. It’s like working with a writing partner that can actually do stuff for you right there in your projects.
Accessing Chat
- Click Chat in the bottom nav bar. You’ll be asked to select a project. (Alternatively, you can tap on Chat when already inside of a project)
- Select your agent in the upper left, and start chatting
Note: The speech bubble in the top right of a document shows document comments (a different feature).
The Three Agents
Edna:
- Smart, critical, and concise
- Professional and straightforward
Alexis:
- A bit of a stinker (more playful personality)
Jeff:
- Friendly and supportive
- "Just a real nice guy"
The main difference between agents is personality and temperament. Choose based on the type of feedback and interaction style you prefer.
What Chat Can Do

How to Use Chat
- Either tap the sparkle mic to Smart Dictate your request in the chat field or type it manually
- Send your message
- The agent will read your project context and respond
- The agent can automatically make changes to your project (create characters, add to outline, etc.) as requested
Chat Management
Per-Project Conversations:
- Each project has its own separate chat thread with each agent
- You can have one chat with each agent concurrently, per project
- Chat threads don't cross between agents
Clearing Chat History:
- Tap the More menu (•••) in the upper right
- Select Clear Chat
- This resets the agent's context for a fresh start
Important: Chat on mobile is different from web chat, both in capability and history. Conversation threads do not sync between platforms, and a chat you have on mobile cannot be seen on the web app.
