Chat is the main place where you talk to companions, attach files, reference tabs, review work, and continue tasks.

​
Queued follow-ups

When a chat is already responding, you can type another message and send it. Strawberry adds it to that chat’s queue. Queued messages:
  • Run one at a time in the order sent.
  • Stay specific to the current chat.
  • Include their own attachments, files, selected text, windows, and tabs.
  • Show a short text preview above the chat input.
When a queued message starts running, it leaves the visible queue. Remaining items stay visible.

​
Steer a queued message

Click Steer on a queued message to make it run next. Strawberry stops the current response and sends the steered message first. Other queued messages stay queued.

​
Stop and send immediately

Press Cmd+Enter on macOS or Ctrl+Enter on Windows/Linux while a chat is responding to stop the current response and send the typed message immediately instead of queueing it. If the chat input is empty and queued messages are waiting, pressing Enter stops the current response and sends the next queued message.

​
Attach files and context

You can paste or drop files into chat. Strawberry waits for attachment processing before creating a new chat from the new tab page. You can also give a companion tab context, selected text, files, or explicit instructions about what to inspect. Use @ in the chat input to mention open tabs, and apps.

​
Companion selection

Use the companion picker in chat to choose who should handle the task. Press Cmd + . to cycle through companions. Use Shift to cycle backward.

​
Good chat prompts

Good prompts explain:
  • Goal
  • Context to use
  • Constraints
  • Output format
  • Whether the companion should ask before acting

When to use Plan mode

Use planning for complex tasks where you want the companion to think through approach, assumptions, risks, and steps before execution. Plan mode keeps your current Fast or Smart execution setting and adds planning context. A plan can be lightweight in chat or durable as a PLAN.md file for substantial tasks.
