The Lara Chat input is more than a text box. It controls what Lara receives, which model answers, whether web search is active, whether chat history is used, and whether files are included.
Main input controls
- Message area: write your request and press Enter to send.
- Send button: starts the response when your message is ready.
- Stop button: appears while Lara is generating and lets you stop the current response.
- Attachment button: add supported files for Lara to read.
- Model selector: choose the available model package for the response.
- Mode menu: choose structured modes such as Academy, Quiz, Web Analysis, SWOT, Pros vs Cons, or Compare.
- Web Search toggle: lets Lara use live web search when needed.
- History toggle: controls whether previous chat context should be included.
Use one clear setup per request
Before sending, check whether the task needs files, live search, a special mode, or a stronger model. Turning on every option is not always better. Choose the tools that match the question.
When the scroll button appears
If you scroll away from the bottom of a conversation, Lara Chat can show a scroll-to-bottom control above the input. Use it to jump back to the newest response.
Input habit
Set the mode, model, files, and web search before sending the message. That gives Lara the right context from the first response.
