Unified threads
Ask the next question when it comes to you. Hamster can work your follow-up into the answer it's already preparing.
Hand off a longer job, then move on to your next question while it runs.
Ask how it's going, change direction, or stop the work from the same conversation. The result comes back there when it's ready. Click its timestamp to see the work behind it.
Tell Hamster what you want done and when it should happen, whether that's every morning, when a brief is done, or when a pull request merges. It sets up a routine and reports back to the same conversation.

Memory
Start a new conversation with less to repeat. Hamster uses relevant saved facts and preferences to shape its answers.
Tell Hamster how you like a review structured and ask it to remember. Saved facts can be private to you or shared with your team.
Edit or delete what Hamster remembers on the Memory page in your personal settings. New details never replace the facts you write or correct.

Command palette
Glance through chats, briefs, and more as you search, then jump into the work you need. Press ⌘K or Ctrl+K from anywhere in your workspace.
Catch up on unread replies or find an older conversation from the Chats tab. Previewing a reply leaves it unread until you open the conversation.
You can also start a new chat or create a brief from the same window.

Pinned work
Keep this week's work at the top of your sidebar. Right-click a chat in the Chats tab and choose Pin to sidebar, or use the pin at the top of an open brief, goal, or chat.
A dot beside a pinned chat tells you there's a reply waiting.
