This inspector provides a place to "talk" to your chosen AI provider. Make general inquiries or possibly even questions about the selected item or your database. And for tools-compatible models, it can accept some DEVONthink-related commands.

Open this inspector with the Tools > Inspectors > Chat command. The main area of this inspector is where your chat is shown, displayed in a style similar to Apple Messages. At the bottom is the query field where you ask your questions and commands. This displays the default AI provider you chose in the AI settings. To the left of this field is a dropdown menu where you can switch to a different model, if available.

At the top of the inspector are a quartet of buttons, each with a corresponding shortcut:

  • Icon
    Clears the current chat to start a new one. (⌘K)
  • Icon
    Copies the entire chat to the clipboard as tab-delimited text. This can be used in a spreadsheet application or to create a new DEVONthink sheet.
  • Icon
    Resends the last prompt. This can be useful e.g., after changing chat models. (⌘R)
  • Icon
    Saves the entire chat to the current location with a name and format you choose. Export formats include: Plain Text, Rich Text, Formatted Note, HTML Page, Markdown, Sheet, or Messages (JSON). (⌘S)

Context Menu: The context menu in the search hits has these commands:

  • Icon
    Copy Image/Subject: Copies an image or the detected subject of an image to the clipboard.
  • Icon
    Capture Image/Subject: Save a document from the image or the detected subject of an image.
  • Icon
    Copy/Save Chat: Copy the current chat to the clipboard or save it as a new document in your chosen format.
  • Icon
    Resend Last Message: Resend the last prompt entered. Often used after changing models or for checking a previous response.
  • Icon
    Save All Images: Saves images from the current chat when multiple images exist.
