Speech bubble and text input
- The × on the speech bubble closes it for the rest of that reply.
- The pop-out button moves the conversation to a separate message window. Its name plate drags the window, and its dock button moves the conversation back to the character.
- Hovering over a long reply pauses its auto-hide so you can read it.
- In the message window, her reasoning can be expanded at the top of a reply.
- While she replies, the send button turns into a stop button that ends the reply.
- Attach images with the clip button, by pasting, or by drag-and-drop.
Voice
Turn on the voice input switch in the settings panel to talk to her. With barge-in on, speaking while she talks cuts her off.
Tray menu and status chips
- The tray menu has Show / Hide Character, Settings…, and Quit YUI.
- The status pill above her shows the tool she is running.
- The delegation chip lists work she handed to a background agent. Tap it to open the list, and hold it to fold it away.
