Everything you do in Splox happens on one screen: a sidebar of places on the left, a conversation in the middle, and a composer at the bottom. This page names the parts so the rest of this section can point at them.
The Splox workspace with an empty chat open

A new chat. The machine switcher is top left, the composer at the bottom, the sidebar down the side.

​
The sidebar

New Chat opens an empty conversation. Machines, Tools, Skills and Connections are the four screens where you set up what the agent has to work with: Under those, PROJECTS lists your projects and RECENT lists your chats, newest first. A chat sits in Recent until you move it into a project, and then it sits under that project instead. See Projects. The magnifier at the top of the sidebar searches chats — by name and by message content, so a phrase you remember from a conversation finds it. At the bottom is your account: name, plan, and a menu with Upgrade Plan, Usage, Settings and Log out. The download icon beside it goes to the desktop app.

​
The machine switcher

The control at the top left of a chat names the machine this conversation runs on, and under it the harness that machine runs and the ref it runs at.
The machine picker open in a chat

The machine picker: the machine's name, then the harness at its ref

This is not an agent picker. Switching machines switches computers: a different disk, a different checkout of a possibly different harness. A chat stays on the machine it was started on, so switch before you send the first message rather than in the middle of a conversation. Machine explains what that means for your files. The picker also says whether the machine is running, and ends with a Your machines shortcut to the Machines screen.

​
The composer

The composer with the run configuration popover open

The composer: attachments on the left, model and effort in the middle, send on the right

Three controls:
  • + attaches a file. It is uploaded and the agent is given a URL it can fetch onto the machine.
  • Harness decides · Default is the run configuration: which model answers, and how much thinking effort it spends. Left alone, both come from the code in your harness.
  • The arrow sends. While a run is going it becomes a square, which stops it.
All three are covered in A conversation.

​
The inspector

The button at the top right of a chat opens a panel showing the machine this chat is on, how much of the context window the conversation has used, a way into the sandbox over SSH or VS Code, and any sub-agents running right now.

The inspector: context used, the sandbox, and the sub-agent list
