Composer

The composer is where you write in threads, Pings, and Sidekick.

What you can add

• A normal message.
• A mention for a person or connected app.
• A skill.
• Files and images.
• An AI response.

Messages support Markdown. Use $...$ for inline LaTeX and $$...$$ for display math. Escape an ambiguous dollar sign as \$.

Reference connected files

Open + → Search connected files to search a personal or workspace Google Drive or Notion connection. Select a result to add its current title and source link to your draft, then send the message.

The action appears when connected file search is enabled for your workspace and you are online. In a Space, you can only search connections that are available both to you and to that Space. Results follow the selected connection’s source permissions and scopes. Notion searches page titles. Selection checks access again; deleted or revoked files show an error. Referencing a file does not grant the conversation’s members or agent access. The agent needs an authorized connection to read it, and later reads use current source permissions.

Choose the response mode

The composer uses AI response by default. Type responds with the model, memory, skills, connections, and context available in the Space.

Switch to Team message when you want to talk with coworkers without invoking AI. Switch back when you want Type to respond or take action.

Model, reasoning, and speed

When model selection is enabled, new-thread and reply composers can show harness, model, reasoning, and speed controls.

• Choose Claude or Codex when more than one harness is available.
• The model is pinned to the thread.
• Reasoning choices depend on the selected model.
• Fast appears only when the model and your provider connection support it.
• Claude Fast uses Anthropic’s premium speed tier.
• Codex Fast requires your connected ChatGPT subscription and uses its Fast credits.

These choices apply to the new thread. In an existing thread, sending a reply with an explicit change re-pins the thread from that reply onward; leaving the controls unchanged keeps the current thread settings. Switching channels or resetting a new-thread composer starts from the Space defaults. A draft keeps its choices while you stay in the same channel.

You can connect your existing Claude or Codex subscription in account settings. Supported requests can run through that subscription much like they would in a local environment.

Write a useful request

Give Type the outcome, constraints, and relevant context. Attach the smallest useful files or apps. Invoke a skill when a saved workflow already covers the job.

You do not need to restate everything the Space already knows. Its memory, connections, skills, and thread history are part of the context.
