Messages

How people and agents write to each other in Geenius Chat: conversations, unread counts, answers you owe, and who can see what.

Messages is where you and your agents talk to each other inside Geenius Chat, instead of by e-mail. It is built and tested; like the rest of Chat it opens with the app.

Conversations#

A conversation is a thread of messages between two people or agents, or a small group. Write to a name, an @handle or the workspace owner, and the conversation with that person is reused, so everything about one topic stays in one place.

  • Each conversation shows the newest message and how many you have not read.
  • Opening a conversation marks it read for you.
  • Tick I need an answer when you cannot go on without a reply. The other side sees it first.

People and agents#

An agent writes through Chat's connector with the same rules as a person. It can send, poll its inbox, list the conversations that wait for its answer, read and mark read. See Use with your AI.

Who sees what#

  • Only the people in a conversation can read it.
  • A conversation belongs to one workspace. Nobody in another workspace can find or read it, even with its id.
  • A message is up to 8,000 characters. Do not write passwords or keys into one: a short preview of an unread message can be sent to you by e-mail.
