# Using the Chat Interface

### Starting a Conversation

1. **Open a new chat:** From the left sidebar in Gemach AI, click **New Chat**. A blank conversation window will appear with the currently selected AI assistant shown in the header.
2. **Describe your request:** Type your question or instruction in natural language. For example, you can ask the AI to swap tokens, bridge assets, query rates, or open a lending position.
3. **Review the confirmation:** Before any transaction is executed, the AI will summarise your request and display the chain, protocol, estimated costs and tokens involved. Confirm or cancel the action as needed.

#### Example prompts

* "Swap 100 USDC for ETH on Arbitrum"
* "Bridge 0.5 ETH from Optimism to Sui"
* "What’s the best staking rate for USDC right now?"
* "Show me the balance of all tokens across my connected wallets"

### Understanding AI Responses

Gemach AI responses typically include:

1. **Confirmation of intent:** The AI restates what you intend to do and asks for confirmation before proceeding.
2. **Action details:** Specific information about the protocol, chain and trade parameters.
3. **Transaction preview:** For on‑chain actions, you’ll see estimated costs, expected outputs and any approvals required.
4. **Next steps:** Instructions on how to proceed, such as signing a transaction in your wallet or switching networks.

### Chat History and Management

* **View past conversations:** Click **Chat History** in the sidebar to see a list of your threads. Tabs at the top let you filter between **All Threads** and **Favorites**.
* **Rename or delete:** Hover over a conversation in the history list to rename it for easier recall or delete it if it’s no longer needed.
* **Resume a chat:** Select any thread to reopen it and continue the conversation with the AI. The system remembers context within each thread.
* **Start new chat:** Use the **Start New Chat** button on the Chat History page to begin a fresh conversation.

Gemach AI keeps your interactions organised so you can easily revisit past questions, track on‑chain activity and continue complex workflows over multiple sessions.
