RIA Console

The RIA Console is the chat sidebar on the right of every screen — resizable, collapsible, with two tabs: Chat and History.

Context-aware chat

The console knows where you are, and the composer's placeholder tells you what it's ready for: on a model, "Type a what-if — e.g. 'What if oven time doubles?'" — and a banner confirms the routing: "Each message becomes a new what-if scenario." On a workflow run it offers to "diagnose, compare, or summarize for sign-off"; on Home it answers about "your plan, scenarios, or what needs you."

History keeps past conversations scoped to their context — a model, a run, a screen — so switching back picks up the thread where you left it.

Changes are gated

RIA never applies a change silently. Any edit it wants to make arrives as a Plan confirm card: the plan spelled out, a diff you can open (Show N changes — field, from, to), and three buttons — Run plan, Edit, Cancel. Nothing happens until you click Run plan.

Attachments

The paperclip attaches files as context: data as CSV, TSV, JSON, or MD (up to 1,000 KB), or a design document as PDF or DOCX (up to 10 MB). Drop a file anywhere on the composer to attach it.

Fast author

The sparkle button is Fast author — in its own words: "bypass interview, build directly from this prompt (~30s)." One complete paragraph in, one built-and-solved model out. A complete description sent normally (Enter / the Send arrow) routes to the same fast build.
