# Using chat

> Start conversations, pick models, tag team and project, attach files, and manage history.

Chat is the primary member experience in Hebno. Every message runs through models your organisation enables, with spend recorded automatically.

## Open chat

After onboarding, open **New chat** from the sidebar.

The chat panel includes:

* Message input
* Model picker
* Team and project tag selectors (at conversation start)
* File attachment support (drag-and-drop)

## Choose a model

Use the model picker to select which model answers this thread. Only models enabled for your organisation and allowed for the conversation's team appear.

If the default model control is available, set it under **Settings → Chat preferences → Defaults**. Otherwise Hebno uses the organisation default unless you pick a model per chat.

## Tag team and project

When starting a conversation, select:

1. **Team** - required for correct spend roll-up in most setups
2. **Project** - optional; use for client or initiative attribution

Tags cannot be changed after creation. Start a new chat if attribution was wrong. See [Attribution](/docs/concepts/attribution).

## Attach files

Drag files into the chat panel or use the attachment control. Files upload to private organisation storage.

## Regenerate responses

Use **Regenerate** on an assistant message to request a new answer from the same model. Each regeneration creates additional usage and cost.

## History

Past conversations appear in **History**, grouped by date. You can:

* Search and open threads
* Rename conversations
* Delete one or many via the manage dialog
* Filter by project from the sidebar

## Personal settings

Open **Settings** from the user menu:

| Section              | Options                                                     |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Personal**         | Display name, theme                                         |
| **Chat preferences** | Default model, custom instructions                          |
| **Memory**           | Personal memory toggle (only if organisation allows memory) |

**Organisation context** (background about your company injected into every chat) is set by admins under **Admin → Settings**, not by members.

## Usage

Open **Usage** from the user menu to see personal spend for the current period against any member-scoped limits.

## Organisation context and memory

Admins may set **organisation context** and **chat memory** policy under **Admin → Settings**. When memory is allowed, members can turn on **Remember things about me** under **Settings → Chat preferences → Memory**.
