Work with messages

Under every reply is a row of buttons: Read Aloud, Copy Markdown, Edit, Regenerate, Message Info and More.

Copy a reply into another app

Click Copy Markdown, or press ⇧ ⌘ C to copy the last reply. ⇧ ⌘ X copies it and closes the window.

To control the formatting, open More and choose:

• Copy Rich Text for Pages, Word, Notes and Mail
• Copy Plain Text for emails, forms and anywhere formatting gets in the way
• Copy Markdown for Markdown apps and code editors

Get a better answer

• Ask again. Click Regenerate, or press ⌘ R, for a new reply to the same message.
• Fix your question. Click Edit under your message, or press ⌘ E to edit your last one. Change it and save, then regenerate.
• Try another model. Switch the model and regenerate. See Choose and switch models.
• Let it think longer. Raise the reasoning effort next to the model. See The message box.

Branch a chat from a message

Open More on a message and choose Branch from here. BoltAI starts a new chat with the messages up to that point. The original chat stays as it was.

Edit a reply

You can edit the AI's replies too, for example to fix a detail before you continue, or to cut a long reply down to what matters.

Click Edit under the reply. The editor shows the text, and the reply's Attachments, Sources, Reasoning and Tools on the right. Click Remove All to drop any of them. Click Save Changes (⌘ S) when you're done.

Delete messages

Open More on a message and choose:

• Delete Message to remove that message
• Delete All Subsequent Messages to remove everything after it, and carry on from there

Save a reply

Open More on a reply and choose:

• Save Message… to save it as a file
• Create a Prompt… to save it to your Prompt Library
• Open in browser… to open it in your web browser

When a reply stops early

Long replies that hit the model's output limit continue in the same reply. To turn this off, open Settings › General and turn off Auto-continue long responses.

See the model, tokens and speed

Click Message Info for the provider and model, input and output tokens, and time to first token.

To see the speed under every reply, turn on Always show tokens per second in Settings › Appearance.

Get notified when a reply finishes

To hear when a long reply is done while you work in another app, turn on Notify when replies finish (background only) in Settings › General.

Read a reply aloud

Click Read Aloud. To pick the voice, open Settings › Voice.

Choose which buttons show

Open Settings › Appearance and choose them under Message Actions. Anything you hide is still in More.
