# The Delegate interface

> A tour of the Delegate interface, including the sidebar, chat panel, and the additional panels available inside a project.

## Title bar

- **Product switcher**: Move between Assistant, Delegate, and Cartographer.
- **Notifications**: The bell icon shows updates on your routines and delegated tasks.

## Sidebar (left)

- **New**: Start a fresh conversation.
- **Search**: Find a past conversation.
- **Scheduled routines**: Jump to routines you have set to run automatically.
- **Projects**: Conversations, files, and skills grouped together for a specific area of work.
- **Routines**: One-click access to your saved workflows.
- **Recents**: Your most recent conversations.
- **Add-ons & Integrations**: Manage connected tools.
- **Account**: Your profile, at the bottom of the sidebar.

## Chat panel (center)

- **Work in a project**: Start the conversation inside a project instead of on its own.
- **Chat box**: Type your request, or use `/` for routines and `@` to mention a connected app. The row below it holds the execution mode, screen and computer-use toggles, and the model picker.
- **Quick actions**: Create a recording, schedule a routine, or ask for different suggestions.
- **Suggested tasks**: Ideas for what to work on next, based on your connected tools.

## Working in a project

A project groups related conversations, files, and skills, together with instructions and skills that apply to everything inside it — similar to a project in other chat tools.

Inside a project, the sidebar narrows to that project's own navigation (**New**, **Files**, **Conversations**, **Resources**), and two areas are added:

- **Conversations list**: Below the chat box, showing every conversation started in this project.
- **Project panel (right)**: **Stakeholders** (people you have added to the project, and any tasks delegated to them), **Project instructions** (the guidance Delegate follows for everything in this project), and **Skills** (skills preloaded for this project).

:::note
Cartographer's interface differs enough from Delegate's to have its own tour — see [The Cartographer interface](the-cartographer-interface.md).
