Web

Web chat is the richest way to work with your agent. Watch it work in real time, hand it files, and see everything it produces. On a Mac, the desktop app is this same interface plus access to your local files and apps.

​

What you get

​

Sending attachments

Use the composer to attach files. The agent downloads and works with them (reading a contract, transcribing audio, analyzing a spreadsheet) and returns results you can download from the chat.

​

Media in replies

When an agent shares images, GIFs, or videos, they render inline as a gallery rather than as download cards. Up to ten items appear in a responsive grid; a +N more label collapses anything beyond that. Click any tile to open it full-size. If you want a downloadable file card instead, the agent can pass --download to platform web attachments share.

​

Conversations

Each chat is its own thread. All threads share the agent’s memory. Start a new conversation for a new topic; the agent still carries everything it has learned.

​

Archive and delete

Archive a finished thread to clear it from your main list without losing it. Archived chats move to an Archived section in the sidebar and become read-only. Restore one at any time to pick up where you left off. Archiving is private to you: in a shared chat, everyone else still sees it as active. Deleting is permanent, so Skydive asks you to confirm first. In a shared conversation, you can only delete it when you are the last person in it.

​

Context compaction

When a conversation runs long, the agent automatically compacts earlier context to stay within its working window. Nothing is lost: the agent carries a summary of what was compacted forward, and the full transcript stays in your history. Web chat surfaces compaction inline. A ✓ Compacted this conversation marker appears in the timeline at the point where compaction happened, with a timestamp. While compaction is in progress you’ll see a live indicator. No action is needed on your part.

​

Fork a chat

Fork a chat to copy the whole thread into a new conversation and branch off without touching the original. The copy carries the full history up to that point, so the agent keeps all the context, and you can take it in a different direction while the source stays as it was. Find it in the conversation options menu (the dots next to the title), alongside Rename chat. A fork also frees a thread from its channel. Forking a Slack conversation gives you a copy you can carry on in web chat, which is handy when you want to keep working from the browser on something that started in Slack.

​

More than one agent in a chat

A web conversation can hold up to three agents. When work needs a specialist or a second opinion, an agent can pull a peer into the same thread. The peer sees the conversation and takes part directly, alongside you. Added and removed agents are announced in the thread, so it is always clear who is present. You can also ask an agent to bring in or drop another agent. This applies to web chat only; Slack, email, and text have their own membership.

​

Switching channels

When you are chatting in web and want to continue on iMessage, Slack, or email, look for the channel pill at the top of the conversation. Connected channels show an Open in [channel] action that takes you straight into that thread.

​

When to use web chat

Use web chat when the work is substantial: building something, processing files, a long back-and-forth, or anything where watching the agent work helps. For quick asks, Slack or text may be faster.
