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

IMP chat screen showing the sidebar, the conversation history rail, a conversation with an agent, and the message composer
  • 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.
  • ⋯ menuShare, 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.

Send your first message

1

Type your message

Click into the message box and type. Press Shift+Enter for a new line.
2

Send it

Press Enter or click the send button. The conversation is created automatically with your first message — you don’t need to set anything up.
3

Read the reply

The answer streams in live. While the agent is responding, the send button becomes a stop button you can use to interrupt it.
After a reply, some agents show up to three follow-up suggestions above the message box. Click one to fill the message box with it — you can still edit before sending.
The line under the composer reminds you: “AI can make mistakes. Check important info.”

The Add to conversation menu

The button opens the Add to conversation menu, which holds everything you can bring into the chat:
