Quick Messages
Settings → Quick Messages is a small library of reusable message snippets — canned bits of text you send often. You write and organize them here; you drop them into a conversation from the composer. The screen sums itself up as "Manage reusable message snippets. Drag to reorder."
A snippet is just a title and a block of content. The title is a label so you can find it; the content is what actually gets inserted.
The editor
The screen is a two-pane manager:
- Left — the list. Every snippet you've made, each showing its title (or Untitled if you haven't named it) above a one-line preview of its content. A search box at the top filters by title or content, and New adds a fresh, empty snippet and drops you straight into its title field. Drag a row by its handle to reorder the list.
- Right — the editor. For the selected snippet, a Title field and a Content box. Save commits your edits — it stays disabled until there's something unsaved — and Delete removes the snippet after a confirmation prompt.
Edits aren't live: changes to the title or content only take hold when you press Save, and creating, saving, deleting, and reordering are each their own action.
Inserting one into a message
To use a snippet while writing a message:
- Click the + button next to the conversation input.
- Open the Quick Messages submenu.
- Pick a snippet.
Its content is inserted at your cursor — it's added to whatever you've already typed, not a replacement — so you can drop a snippet mid-sentence, then keep editing before you send. A snippet with empty content inserts nothing. The snippets appear in the menu in the same order as the list on this screen, which is why the drag-to-reorder handle matters: put the ones you reach for most at the top.
Good to know
- Order here is order there. The list order on this screen is the order snippets appear in the composer's + menu — reorder to put your most-used ones first.
- Insert, not replace. Picking a snippet drops its content at the cursor and leaves the rest of your draft intact; nothing is sent automatically, so you can adjust it first.
- Only the content is inserted. The title is just a label for finding the snippet — it never becomes part of the message.
- They're shared across conversations. Your snippet library is app-wide, available in every conversation, not tied to a workspace or agent.
- Not the same as a skill. A quick message is plain canned text you insert and can edit before sending; a skill is an executable command an agent runs. Reach for a quick message when you just want to avoid retyping.
