It's a chat surface that talks to your entire environment — your [connections](/guides/connect-apps), tools, and [context](/guides/context) — so you can ask questions and run things in plain language, and watch Modus use real tools to answer. A Modus Home conversation showing the assistant using filesystem tools and answering ## Chatting with Modus Type a message and Modus answers using the context it has built from your integrations. By default you're talking to **Modus**, the general assistant that spans your whole environment. Modus doesn't just reply from memory — it can **read your files, query your connected data, and search stored knowledge**, showing each step (like the *List Directory* and *Read File* steps above) so you can see exactly how it reached an answer. Every conversation gets its own workspace: files a scope creates or edits during a chat live in that conversation's **filesystem**, and useful facts can be saved to **memory** for next time. ## The controls below the message box The Scopes dropdown open on Home, showing an available scope to tag * **Assistant / workflow selector** — start from the default **Modus** assistant, or pick a conversation-triggered [workflow](/guides/workflows) to run it right in the chat. * **Scopes** — tag one or more [scopes](/guides/scopes) to bring in a specialist's instructions and focused context (shown above). Search and select the experts you want; the conversation then answers with their expertise and their slice of your data. * **Model selector** — choose which AI model powers the response, grouped by **Most Capable**, **Balanced**, **Fastest**, and **Most Affordable** so you can trade off quality, speed, and cost per task. * **Attachments** — attach a file to the message to have Modus analyze it directly. ## Tagging scopes for specialist help A [scope](/guides/scopes) is a specialist AI configured for a specific domain, with its own instructions and a focused slice of context. Open the **Scopes** dropdown, search, and select the specialists you want — the chat then answers with their expertise instead of the general assistant. Tag more than one to combine specialists in a single conversation. ## Running workflows inline Pick a conversation-triggered [workflow](/guides/workflows) from the assistant selector to run a multi-step pipeline from the chat. Modus renders each step — AI steps, conditions, actions, and human-approval gates — **inline as it runs**, so you can follow the pipeline and step in when a run needs your approval. ## Managing conversations Your chats are saved. Near the message box you'll find: * **Conversation history** — reopen a recent conversation. Recent chats also appear in the sidebar. * **Conversation filesystem** — browse the folders and files a scope created or modified during the chat, and download them. * **New conversation** — start a fresh thread. New to Modus? Connect a [data source](/guides/postgresql) or [app](/guides/connect-apps) first so Modus has context to work with, tag the relevant [scope](/guides/scopes), then ask your question here.
