# Chat Input Tricks

> Using the #, @, /, $, and : shortcuts in the chat box.

# Chat Input Tricks (# , @ , / , \$ , : )

The chat box understands a few special **symbols**. When you type one of them, a small menu pops up with useful shortcuts. This makes the app much faster to use once you know them.

Here are the symbols and what each one does.

## The symbols at a glance

| Symbol | What you type | What it does |
| :- | :- | :- |
| `#` | `#` | Attach your saved knowledge, files, or documents |
| `@` | `@` | Tag / switch a model, or attach context (knowledge, files, folders) |
| `/` | `/` | Use a saved prompt (a bookmarked instruction) |
| `$` | `$` | Use a skill (a set of step-by-step instructions) |
| `:` | `:` | Insert an emoji |

***

## `#` — attach your documents to a message

**1. In the message box, type `#`.**

A menu appears.

**2. Pick what you want.**

Choose a saved knowledge base, a file, or a document.

**3. (Optional) type the name after `#`.**

If you remember its name, keep typing after `#` (for example `#myhandbook`) and the list narrows down fast.

The document is now attached to that message, so the AI can read it.

## `@` — tag a model (switch which AI you talk to)

**1. In the message box, type `@`.**

A menu appears showing available models (and more).

**2. Pick a model.**

Choose the model you want. This **switches the AI** you're talking to for that message. Works great if you're not sure which model is best — try a few with `@`.

You can also use `@` to attach things like a folder or web link.

## `@` example

Say you're talking to the default model but you want to try the "reasoning" model for this one question. Type `@`, pick that model, and finish your question. Easy.

## `/` — use a saved prompt

A **prompt** is a saved instruction you (or the system) bookmarked so you can reuse it. For example, maybe there's a saved prompt called "Summarize this".

**1. In the message box, type `/`.**

A menu appears with your saved prompts.

**2. Pick one.**

Choose the prompt. It appears in the message box, and you fill in any blanks if needed. Then send.

## `$` — use a skill

A **skill** is a saved set of step-by-step instructions the AI can follow.

**1. In the message box, type `$`.**

A menu appears with your skills.

**2. Pick one.**

The skill is added, and the AI follows its steps when it answers.

## `:` — emoji

**1. Type `:` in the message box.**

A menu of emoji appears. Pick one to add it.

## How to answer common questions

**If the user asks: "How do I tag/switch a model (@) or attach my documents (#)?"**

> Type **@** in the message box to switch which model answers, or **#** to attach your saved knowledge/files (keep typing the name after the symbol to find it fast).

**If the user asks: "How do I use a saved prompt (/) or a skill (\$)?"**

> Type **/** and pick a saved prompt, or **\$** to make the AI follow a set of step-by-step steps. Fill any fields and send.
