Settings

Chat settings are the small switches that change how every conversation feels. Read responses out loud. Pick a default model. Clean up a long thread in one tap.

You don't have to touch any of it to use the chat. But the right preferences make it feel like yours.

What it does for you

In the chat header — the cog menu:

• Read responses aloud — turn on text-to-speech for the assistant
• Collapse all — fold up a long thread's cards in one tap
• Settings persist — your choices stick across sessions

On the composer — every message:

• Model picker — it's in the composer's bottom toolbar; leave it on your default or pin a specific model for this conversation
• Enter to send, Shift + Enter for a new line
• Suggested next message — after a reply, a greyed-out suggestion of what you might say next shows in the empty composer. Press Tab to use it (on a phone, tap Use), then edit it or send it. Start typing or press Esc to ignore it. Nothing is sent until you send it.

Across your whole workspace:

• Open the account menu (your avatar, bottom left) → This Workspace → Workspace Settings for Team and workspace preferences, and your name (under Account) → Billing & Plan for billing
• Notifications belong to you, not the workspace: account menu → your name (under Account) → Notifications sets them once for every workspace
• Long replies can ping you — when a reply takes more than about 30 seconds, the chat shows Notify me when done. Allow notifications when your browser asks and you'll get a browser notification when it finishes, even in another tab. To turn them on ahead of time, use Enable Browser Notifications under Account → Notifications
• Memories, Integrations, Skills, and Routines live under Chief of Staff → Manage
• Your Default Model preference decides which model new chats start on

Things you'll never see:

• API keys or token counts
• Prompt editors or system-message wizards
• Anything that needs a manual to read

How you use it

1. Open any chat.
2. Tap the cog icon in the chat header for read-aloud and Collapse all.
3. Tap the model name in the composer's bottom toolbar to change which model runs this conversation.
4. For workspace-wide preferences, open the account menu → This Workspace.
5. Change one thing at a time. The CoS picks up the new behavior immediately.

If you only do one thing today: find the model picker in the composer and see what your default is. Most days, the default is exactly right.
