Floating Chat

A persistent, draggable chat window that floats over your workspace. Perfect for quick conversations without leaving your current view.

Overview

The Floating Chat provides a lightweight alternative to the sidebar chat view:

  • Draggable window — move it anywhere on screen
  • Resizable — drag the edges to adjust size
  • Collapsible — hide the window without losing your session
  • Multi-window — open multiple floating windows simultaneously
  • Independent sessions — each window runs its own agent session

TIP

Enable the floating chat in Settings → Agent Client → Floating chat → Show floating button.

Getting Started

  1. Enable Show floating button in settings
  2. A floating button appears in the bottom-right corner
  3. Click the button to open a chat window
