​
Overview

The Chat Block is your familiar conversational interface, enhanced with the power to connect to any other block on your canvas. Perfect for brainstorming, asking questions, and developing ideas through back-and-forth conversation.

​
Key Features

  • 300+ Models Available - Switch between GPT-4, Claude Sonnet, Gemini, Grok, Llama, and hundreds more
  • Conversation Branching - Click the branch button under any message to start a new conversation thread from that point. Your previous thread will be preserved
  • Context Sharing - Automatically shares conversation context with connected blocks (both in and out)
  • Model Switching - Change models mid-conversation to get different perspectives
  • Web and Doc Search - Specify if you want the chat block to search through the web and/or all “documents” anywhere on the canvas (includes files, YouTube videos, webpages). Note: This is for broader web and document search - if you connect specific blocks to the chat block, they will be used as context regardless of these settings

​
How to Use

  1. Create a Chat Block - Click on canvas → Select “Chat Block”
  2. Select Your Model - Click the model dropdown to choose your preferred AI
  3. Start Conversing - Type your message and press Enter

Best Practices

  • Switch models for different strengths - Use OpenAI models for creative tasks, Claude Sonnet for coding and analysis, Gemini 2.5 for coaching, Grok 4 for brainstorming
  • Branch conversations when you want to explore multiple directions without losing your main thread
  • Connect to other blocks to transform chat insights into research, visuals, or structured outputs
