The composer
The empty chat shows What can I help with? and a box that reads Ask anything, or type / for skills and company data…. Press Enter to send. Press Shift+Enter for a new line.
A Chat or Image switch is beside the box. In Image mode the box reads Describe the image… and the reply is a generated image. See Images.
Add files, sources and skills
Upload a file
Choose Upload file from the + menu, or drag files onto the composer (Drop files here). Hebno accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, PDF, TXT, CSV, Markdown, DOCX, PPTX and XLSX files, up to 25 MB each. Pictures you add show as Image added to your next message.Add connected data
Choose Sources in the + menu, or type/ and pick a source. Each connected system lists what you can attach: recent files, SharePoint sites, mail, Teams meetings from the last 60 days, calendar events for the next 90 days, OneNote pages and records from your CRM, ERP or finance tools. Type after the / to filter.
Inside SharePoint the menu offers Search SharePoint files…, See all sites, Open this SharePoint site (paste a site link) and Go up. If you have not connected a system yet, the menu shows Connect to search this source. Select it and sign in with your own account. Hebno reads with your permissions, so you see only what you could open directly.
Attach skills
Open Skills in the + menu, or type/ and a skill name. Skills are split into Organisation and Yours. You can attach up to three skills to one message. See Skills.
Dictate a message
Select the microphone, speak, and select Stop dictation when you finish. Allow microphone access when your browser asks (Allow microphone access to dictate.). Edit the text before you send it.Choose a model
The model picker lists the models your organisation enables and your team may use. It is searchable. Pick one, or pick Auto and Hebno chooses the best allowed model for each new chat. After Auto picks, the chosen model shows beside Auto. You can switch at any time in the thread. Set your default under Settings → Chat preferences → Default model. If a saved model is retired or not enabled for your team, the composer shows This model is no longer available and prompts you to choose another model, or Auto. See Models.Tag a team and a project
A chat has a team tag and a project tag.- Team: Sets which models you can use and which spend limits apply. Hebno selects it for you when you belong to exactly one team.
- Project: Loads that project’s instructions, files, linked sources and linked records on every turn. A chat with no project shows No project.
Send, queue and stop
You can keep typing while Hebno replies. Anything you send during a reply appears under Queued messages and goes out in order when the reply finishes. Select Remove queued message to take one out. To stop a reply, leave the box empty and select Stop response. Work already done remains in the thread. If a stopped reply has partial work, Hebno says “I stopped before I could write an answer” and lists what it did. Ask it to continue and it resumes from there.What each reply did
Under a reply that used tools, a short line shows what changed and what Hebno read: Deck saved, Document saved, Workbook saved, Files read: N or No files changed. If a reply claims a change that did not happen, Hebno adds a correction: “Correction: nothing was created or changed in this reply. Your files are as they were.” A short nudge such as “so?” continues the work in progress. It does not start something new.When a message looks like new work
When your message names a different client or has nothing to do with the open file, Hebno checks with you before it changes anything. The Before I continue card reads “Should this update “file name” or start new work?” and shows these options:- Update “file name”
- New deck here, New document here, New workbook here or New email here
