Chat Window

In the main sidebar navigation of the control panel, click the Sidekick link to open the chat window.

Example of the Chat Window in use

Sidekick offers a powerful chat window directly within the Craft control panel, allowing you to interact with an AI assistant to perform complex operations like manipulating Twig and module files.

How it Works

  • Sending Messages: Type your message and press Enter to send.
  • New Lines: Press Shift+Enter to add a new line without sending the message.

Message Types

The chat window displays different types of messages, each color-coded for clarity:

ColorMessage TypeDescription
BlackUser MessagesYour own inputs.
BlackAssistant MessagesResponses from Sidekick and OpenAI.
BlueSystem MessagesSystem actions performed by Sidekick.
RedError MessagesAlerts when something goes wrong.

Clearing the Conversation

When you want to start a new topic, use the Clear Conversation button to reset the chat.

  • Removes the current conversation history.
  • Starts a new session with the assistant.
  • Applies the new GPT model (if it has been switched).
