Engaging in conversation with AI models in Vello is a seamless experience. Here’s how to start a new chat with AI:

  1. Create a New Chat: Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M or click on the ‘New Chat’ button at the top right corner to start the process. Create an empty chat without a default AI model using Option+Shift+N (or Alt+Shift+N).

  2. Select AI Model: At the top of the chat creation screen, you will see tabs representing pinned models/personas in the space. Choose from these options or click the ’+’ button in the chat header or press Ctrl+E to open a selector.

  3. Choose Models or Personas or Team Members: From the selector, you can pick one or multiple AI models or some of your team to include in your chat. This flexibility allows for varied input and multi-model, multi-person conversations.

  4. Adjust Membership as Needed: At any point, you can adjust the chat’s membership, press Ctrl+E or use the ’+’ in the header. Press backspace to remove existing members, or search by name to add new ones.

  5. Navigate Between Pinned Models: Once the chat is active, you can easily switch between pinned models by using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+H and Ctrl+L or by clicking the corresponding tabs.

  6. Engage in Chat: After selecting your preferred AI model or personas, you can begin typing your queries or commands, and the AI will respond in the conversation thread.
