Chats Overview

Pentos Chats gives you access to leading AI models from many providers in one place. Switch models at any time without losing context, let the Smart Router pick the right model for each message, share chats with your team with granular permissions, edit any message in a rich text editor, and choose what each message shares with the AI. Archive, delete, restore, import, and download your chats whenever you want.

Models & Routing

  • Choosing a Model: Select from 30+ models across 11 providers, or switch mid-conversation.
  • Smart Router: Analyzes your message and picks the most efficient model that can handle it.
  • Bring Your Own Key: Use your own provider API keys, with no points charged.

Messaging

  • Sending Messages: Compose and send messages, with AI responses streamed in real time.
  • Attachments: Send images, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, text, and code files with your messages.
  • Creating Images: Ask the AI to create an image, or change one, right in the chat.
  • Using Files With AI: Let the AI find and read your files, and keep the charts, spreadsheets, and other files it creates.
  • Formatting: Use the rich text toolbar for bold, italic, lists, colors, and more.
  • Chat Objects: Add and edit tables and codeblocks with syntax highlighting.
  • Editing Messages: Edit any message in the built-in editor, alone or with collaborators.
