Choose an agent
Open Chat from the sidebar. If your organization has more than one agent, IMP shows the Choose an agent screen: “Pick the agent you want to talk to. You can switch at any time.” Select an agent card to start. If only one agent is available — or an administrator has set a default agent — IMP skips the picker and takes you straight into a conversation.If you see No agents available (“You don’t have access to any agents yet. Please contact your administrator.”), an administrator needs to grant you access to at least one agent first.
The chat screen

- History rail — your past conversations with this agent: a New chat button, a Search chats filter, and a Recents list. See Conversations.
- Header — the agent’s name and the conversation title. Click the title to rename it. A quiet usage chip (for example
9% · 12k) shows how much of the model’s context window this conversation uses; click it for a token and budget breakdown. - ⋯ menu — Share, Save as Routine, Model…, Usage, and Delete conversation. Press ⌘+. to open it from the keyboard.
- Conversation column — messages stream in here. Agent replies can include citations, sources, reasoning steps, and tool results you can expand.
- Composer — the message box at the bottom. It has exactly four controls: the + button (the Add to conversation menu), the text field (“Ask me anything…”), a microphone (when dictation is enabled), and the send button.
