Chat is where you and bunny actually talk. You type a message, bunny replies, and the whole conversation is saved so you can pick it back up later. This page covers the conversation itself.

## Send a message

<Steps>
  <Step title="Type in the box">
    Click the **chat with bunny** box at the bottom and type your message.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Press Enter to send">
    Your message appears and bunny starts replying. To add a new line without sending, press **Shift+Enter**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can ask bunny anything: a question, a request, or a task to work through with you.

## How replies work

Replies stream in word by word, so you see the answer form in real time. A thinking indicator shows while bunny is working something out before it writes.

bunny writes in markdown, so replies can include lists, tables, code blocks, and clickable links, all formatted for easy reading.

To cut a reply short, press the square **Stop** button. bunny stops generating right away and keeps whatever it had written so far, so you can send a follow-up.

### Tool cards

Sometimes bunny does more than talk. When it uses a tool, an expandable tool card appears inside the reply. Click the card to open it and see what bunny did. To learn which tools bunny can use and how to turn them on or off, see [Built-in tools](/user/chat/built-in-tools).

<Note>
  Every reply comes from the same bunny, but bunny can run privately on your own device or in the bunnyCompute cloud. See [Where bunny runs](/user/chat/on-device-vs-cloud) to choose and switch.

## Your chat history

Every conversation is saved to your account and auto-titled from your first message, so it is easy to find later. Your saved chats live in the sidebar.

* **New Chat** starts a fresh conversation.
* The **Recent** list in the sidebar switches between your saved chats.
* To rename a chat, click the pencil icon or double-click its title.
* To delete a chat, click the trash icon.
* Clicking the bunny logo returns you home to a new chat.
