Your first conversation

  1. Open a site. From your list of sites, open the one you want to work on. Its workspace opens, with the chat in the middle.
  2. Say what you want. Type it the way you would ask a colleague. Be as specific as you like; Buddy asks when it needs to know more. You can also speak: press the microphone beside Send (or Ctrl+Shift+D, Cmd+Shift+D on a Mac).
  3. Watch it work. While Buddy works, the chat shows what it is doing: the files it reads, the commands it runs, the pages it checks. The bar above the message box lists its working steps (Tasks) and the files it has changed (Files).
  4. Check the result. Buddy tells you what it did and how to see it. Your site’s preview address shows the change right away (see previewing and sharing a site).
  • Pick a mode when it matters. Auto lets Buddy decide how to approach your request. Choose Chat, Analyze or Plan when you want answers or a plan and no changes. See chat and modes.
  • Stop it any time. The Stop button ends Buddy’s current work. What it already changed stays changed; a checkpoint takes it back if you need to.
  • Come back later. Every conversation is kept. Open Conversations in the workspace to pick one up where you left off.
