Chat helps you understand current Workspace context without leaving In Parallel. Start from Home, open a separate conversation, or ask about the page you are viewing.

Your recent conversations appear under Recent chats in the navigation.

Home opens as a Chat window with Ask anything, Add context, and suggested actions. Current suggestions can include Morning brief, Triage decisions, and Drift report.

Enter a request directly or select a suggestion. Home can also show a shortcut when a notification or scheduled output is ready. When the current Home experience is enabled, Browse provides shortcuts to recent Workspaces, past meetings, and Topics.

After you send a request from Home or select a suggested action, the conversation opens in the full Chat view. Continue with a follow-up in the composer.

Excerpt from an example Chat answer. The selected context is Growth Projects; the image shows the first urgent item, not the complete response.

Select Add context. You can search the available context or choose from the controls shown for your account:

In the rest of the product, Tags are presented as Topics. Select a Workspace or Topic when your request should stay within that boundary. The selected item appears as a context chip beside the composer.

Attach a document only when it is appropriate to share that file with In Parallel. The presence of the attachment control does not guarantee that every file type or account configuration is supported.

Context changes the scope of the answer. Check the chip before an unqualified request such as “What is at risk?” or “Summarize this.” Remove a chip when you want the next question to use a different scope.

Meetings and other content pages show a chat bar at the bottom of the page. It is the same composer as Home, with Ask anything and + for adding context. A Workspace's home page has its own composer, Ask about [Workspace], with the Workspace already added as context.

When you have a recent conversation, the bar shows it as a chip. Sending from the bar continues that conversation. Select ✕ on the chip (Remove chat from context) to start a new conversation instead. Pressing Enter in an empty bar opens the popup without sending anything.

The chat can appear as a popup in the corner of the page or pinned to the side of the page. Open the display menu in the chat header (Change chat display) to switch between them.

Drag the popup's left edge, top edge, or top-left corner. The popup keeps its size while you work, including after you minimize and restore it. It returns to its default size when you reload the page.

Pinning or popping out the chat keeps the conversation, your place in it, any text you were typing, and any attached context. Select Pop up in the display menu to turn the side panel back into a popup; it returns at the size you left it.

Open the relevant Workspace page and select Ask about this page. The empty composer expands on the page with a visible Workspace context chip. Check the context and ask a focused question such as “What is missing from this runbook?”

For a focused handoff to another AI tool, use the page's Send to AI button instead.

Open a meeting that has processed Notes. In Ask about this meeting, enter a focused question, such as “What decisions did we make, and what do I need to follow up on before Friday?”

Chat opens with the meeting attached as context. Check the meeting name in the context chip. Read the answer and open its source links to check the relevant decisions or follow-ups. You can continue with another question in the same Chat.

Open Recent chats to search conversation history. Switch between Active and Archived conversations, then use a conversation's actions menu to manage it.

The Active and Archived views help separate current conversations from older ones. Available actions can vary; read the confirmation before changing or deleting a conversation.
