# Chat Interface

The DinoAI prompt input is your main interface for interacting with the DinoAI copilot agent. Beyond typing your prompts, the input toolbar gives you quick access to a set of controls that shape how DinoAI responds and behaves.

### Toolbar Controls

#### Attach Context

Click the **@** icon to attach context to your prompt, such as files or folders from your project. This helps DinoAI understand the specific parts of your codebase you are referring to, leading to more accurate and relevant responses.

#### DinoAI Settings

Click the **Settings** icon to open the [DinoAI Settings panel](/app-help/products/dino-ai/copilot/dinoai-settings.md), where you can manage tool permissions and connected integrations for your DinoAI agent.

#### Chat History

Click the **Clock** icon to open your [DinoAI Chat History](/app-help/products/dino-ai/copilot/chat-history.md), where you can browse and reopen previous conversations with the agent.

#### God Mode

Click the **Lock** icon to toggle [**God Mode**](/app-help/documentation/dino-ai/agent-mode/god-mode.md). When enabled, DinoAI will execute all actions autonomously without pausing to ask for your review or approval.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use God Mode with caution. When enabled, DinoAI will not prompt you before taking actions, including those that may have unintended side effects on your project.
{% endhint %}

### Mode Selection

The **∞ Agent** dropdown lets you switch between two modes of interaction:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/Rwb75XfKMAs1GC3uZ8vH" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

| Mode      | Description                                                                                                                         |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Agent** | DinoAI operates as a fully autonomous agent, capable of using tools, running commands, and taking multi-step actions on your behalf |
| **Ask**   | DinoAI responds conversationally without invoking tools or taking actions — ideal for questions, explanations, and quick lookups    |

### Model Selection

The **model dropdown** (displayed as **Sonnet 4.6** by default) allows you to choose which underlying AI model powers your DinoAI session. Different models may vary in speed, capability, and suitability for different types of tasks.

### Suggested Actions

Below the prompt bar, DinoAI surfaces a set of **Suggested Actions** — one-click prompts that are dynamically generated based on the files you currently have open in the Editor.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/9kQsi4ogEL2TvtqR4vvs" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Rather than typing a prompt from scratch, you can click any suggested action to instantly send it to DinoAI as a prompt. Suggestions update as you switch between files, ensuring they stay relevant to whatever you are working on at any given moment.

Examples of suggested actions include:

* **Explain this model** — get a plain language explanation of the dbt™ model currently open
* **Document my dbt™ model** — automatically generate documentation for your model
* **Refactor dbt™ model** — get recommendations or apply refactoring to your dbt™ model
* **Debug failing dbt™ model** — diagnose and fix issues with a failing dbt™ model
* **Write unit tests** — generate unit tests for the model in focus
* **Create .dinoprompts** — create a `.dinoprompts` file to save and reuse custom prompts in your project

{% hint style="info" %}
Suggested actions are context-aware. For the most relevant suggestions, make sure the file you want to work on is active and open in the Editor.
{% endhint %}
