📥 Message Queue
The Message Queue feature allows you to continue composing and sending messages while the AI is still generating a response. Instead of blocking your input until the current response completes, your messages are queued and automatically sent in sequence.
How It Works
When you send a message while the AI is generating a response:
- Your message is queued - It appears in a compact queue area just above the input box
- You can continue working - Add more messages, edit queued messages, or delete them
- Automatic processing - Once the current response finishes, all queued messages are combined and sent together
This creates a seamless workflow where you can capture thoughts as they come without waiting for the AI to finish.
Queue Management
Each queued message shows three action buttons:
| Action | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Send Now | ↑ | Interrupts the current generation and sends this message immediately |
| Edit | ✏️ | Removes the message from the queue and puts it back in the input field |
| Delete | 🗑️ | Removes the message from the queue without sending |
Combining Messages
When the AI finishes generating, all queued messages are combined into a single prompt (separated by blank lines) and sent together. This means:
- Multiple quick thoughts become one coherent message
- Context flows naturally between your queued inputs
- The AI receives everything at once for better understanding
Persistence
The message queue is preserved when you navigate between chats within the same browser session:
- Leaving a chat - Queue is saved to session storage
- Returning to the chat - Queue is restored and processed
- Closing the browser - Queue is cleared (session storage only)
This means you can start a thought, switch to another chat to check something, and return to find your queued messages waiting.
Settings
You can disable the Message Queue feature if you prefer the traditional behavior:
- Go to Settings → Interface
- Find Enable Message Queue under the Chat section
- Toggle it off
When disabled, sending a message while the AI is generating will:
- Interrupt the current generation
- Send your new message immediately
Message Queue is enabled by default. The toggle allows you to choose between:
- Queue mode (default) - Messages queue up until generation completes
- Interrupt mode - New messages stop current generation immediately
Use Cases
1. Stream of Consciousness
You're reading an AI response and have follow-up questions. Instead of waiting:
- Queue your first follow-up
- Queue a clarification
- Queue another thought
All are sent together when the AI finishes.
2. Adding Context
The AI is working on a complex response, but you remember additional context:
- Queue the extra information
- The AI receives it as part of the next message
3. Multitasking
You're in a long conversation and need to capture quick notes:
- Queue messages as reminders
- Edit or delete before they're sent
- Use "Send Now" for urgent interruptions
Summary
| Feature | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Messages queue during generation, sent together when complete |
| Disabled | New messages interrupt current generation immediately |
| Persistence | Queue survives navigation within session |
| Actions | Send Now, Edit, Delete for each queued item |
The Message Queue helps you maintain your flow of thought without the friction of waiting for AI responses to complete.
