Your first chat.
UPDATED 2026-08-01A chat in LADLE is a scoped conversation with Claude Sonnet. Each chat has its own context window (up to 200K tokens), its own history, and is completely independent of your other chats — the assistant does not remember what happened elsewhere in your account unless you use Projects (see below).
The sidebar lists your chats in reverse-chronological order. New chat is the button at the top; the keyboard shortcut is ⌘N (Ctrl+N on Windows). Rename any chat by clicking the title in the header. To share the transcript of a chat, use the Share button in the header — you'll get a read-only public URL you can send.
Projects group multiple chats around a shared context. If you're using LADLE for your Q4 planning, create a Project called "Q4 planning", attach the docs and voice guide you want available across chats, and every new chat inside that project will see them. Delete a Project and every chat inside it is scoped back to a normal solo chat.
Shortcuts worth learning early: ⌘K opens search across all your chats, ⌘/ switches models (currently only Claude Sonnet is available), and Shift+Enter adds a newline inside the composer without submitting. The composer also accepts file uploads by drag-drop — PDFs, images, code files, spreadsheets, up to 30 per chat.
