Your first conversation in Gibrid chat

1Where to open chat and what is on the screen

Chat opens at gibrid.ai/chat. Without signing in you can try a few messages; to save chats, attach files and use voice input, you need to sign in (the screen hints at this with the labels “Sign in to save”, “Files after sign-in”, “Voice input after sign-in”).

On the left is the side panel: New chat, Search, Create soul, Studio, AI apps and the More item, with the list of your chats below. At the bottom of the panel are your name, the balance in G-tokens and the Top up button. In the center are the heading “Where shall we start?”, the “Ask anything” field and hints below it.

In the header of a new chat, on the right, there is the Temporary chat icon (visible only in an empty chat; more in temporary chat) and the headphones button Voice conversation (more in voice conversation).

2First entry: the “Your first result in a minute” window

If you have just registered and have no chats yet, the “Your first result in a minute” window opens over the chat. It has four ready-made cards, and the price of each is shown in advance. At the top you see your balance in G (“You have … G — enough for your first results”).

There are two links at the bottom of the window: Import memory from ChatGPT or Claude opens Settings → Memory (you can paste text about yourself there — see memory), and Skip closes the window. The window also closes if you click outside it; after that it does not appear again in this browser.

3Your first message

1. Write a question

   Click the “Ask anything” field and write your task in plain words, for example: “Explain in simple words what inflation is”. A new line is Shift+Enter; to send, press Enter or the Send button.

2. Or tap a hint

   There are ready-made hint buttons under the field. Clicking a hint sends its text as a message right away, so click only if you're ready to get an answer.

3. Wait for the answer

   While the model is answering, a Stop button appears instead of Send; it stops the answer. While the model works you can see the label “Thinking…”, and afterwards “Thought for N s” if the model reasoned.

4. Keep the conversation going

   Following messages go into the same chat, and the model remembers the previous lines. For a new topic, it's better to start a new chat with the New chat button (or ⇧⌘O / Shift+Ctrl+O).

4Answer mode and model choice

Under the input field is the mode button. It shows the name of the current mode, Auto by default. Click it and a menu opens:

• Auto: “Decides how long to think”. Suitable almost always.
• Model: the line with the current model's name. By default it also says “Auto”: Gibrid picks a model for every message itself (details in Auto mode). Click the line and a list opens: at the top is a separate “Auto” row (with a description and a price range), below it developer icons (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others) and the chosen developer's models with descriptions and the price “≈ N G” of the next message in this chat. If you choose a specific model, Auto is turned off in this chat; to bring it back, choose the “Auto” row again.
• Compare models: “One prompt, answers side by side”. Details are on the school page about comparing models.

5Message price before sending: the “≈ N G” chip

On the right of the input field, next to the send button, there is a price chip, for example “≈ 0.5–1.6 G”. It is the approximate price of the next message in this particular chat: the assistant's service part of the request, the length of the chat history and the typical reply length of the model are taken into account. Search and images are counted separately. For Auto the chip shows a range, from the fast model to the strong one.

When the price reaches 10 G, the chip becomes brighter, and its tooltip suggests a fast model or a new chat: the longer the history, the more each message costs. In the model list each row also shows “≈ N G” for this chat.

6How to read an answer and what you can do with it

Under the assistant's answer, a row of icons appears (each has a tooltip on hover):

• Copy: copies the answer text.
• Good answer and Bad answer: ratings. After a “bad” one you can briefly give a reason or click “Skip”. Clicking again removes the rating.
• Regenerate: get a different variant. If there are several variants, a 1/2 switch appears next to it.
• The “⋯” icon (More): Quote (adds a quote to the input field), Read aloud, Download as…, Pin, Delete. If the cost is known, the same menu shows a line “Cost ≈ N G”.

Under your messages there are Copy and Edit: you can fix the question and get a new answer. In the “⋯” menu of your own message there is Send again.

The Download as… item turns an answer into a file (Word, PDF and other formats); more on the school page about documents.

7Lines under an answer: “Continue”, Auto, memory, summary

Service lines may appear under the assistant's answer. They tell you what happened and cost nothing:

• “The reply was cut off by length · Continue”: the answer hit the length limit. Continue adds the rest to the same bubble with the same model; only the continuation is charged.
• “Auto · fast model · Gemini 3.8 Flash” or “Auto · strong model (code) · Claude Sonnet 5.5”: which model answered and why.
• “Your memory was used · N · Open”: the assistant used N facts from your memory; Open leads to Settings → Memory. “Remembered · Open”: the assistant saved a fact at your request (“remember…”).
• “The start of the conversation (N msg.) was condensed into a summary · Show”: in a very long chat, early messages are replaced by a short summary so the model does not lose the beginning; Show expands it.

8New chat and history

All chats are gathered in the side panel. Each chat has an Actions menu on the right:

• Pin / Unpin: pinned chats go in a separate “Pinned” block. You can pin no more than 10 chats.
• Rename: your own title instead of the automatic one.
• Archive: removes the chat from the main list; you can bring it back through the “Archive” block with the Restore from archive item.
• Move to project…: put the chat into a project (see the school page about projects).
• Delete chat: after confirmation “Delete this chat?”. The app says a deleted chat can be restored from settings.
• Temporary chat: an icon in the header of a new empty chat. Such a chat is not saved, does not appear in the list on the left, and neither reads nor updates memory. Above the input field there is a banner “Temporary chat: not saved, memory is neither read nor updated.” Details: temporary chat.

9Search across chats and messages

1. Open search

   Click Search in the side panel or press ⌘K / Ctrl+K. A window opens with the field “Search: chats · messages · agents · commands…”.

2. Type a word

   Type a word. The results show chat titles, souls, agents, groups and commands (for example, “New chat”), and from three letters on also matching messages: a fragment is shown around the match, and the word form does not matter (“cars” also finds “car”). Use the arrows to pick a row and press Enter: the chat opens right at that message.

3. Search inside an open chat

   Inside a chat, press ⌘F / Ctrl+F: a search across this conversation's messages opens with the Previous match and Next match buttons.

More about searching message text is on the page search across chats.
