React to any message in a shared thread with an emoji. You can also type / to pull a skill into the conversation.

Reactions

A teammate drops a suggestion that just needs a quick yes. Instead of another reply, you can now answer with a reaction.

Skills in chat

Hamster reaches for the right skill on its own, but sometimes you already know which one you want. You can now type / to bring up your skills and pull one in.

The skill becomes an inline link in the message that anyone in the thread can open, and Hamster reads it into context for that reply.
