# Basic Usage

Get familiar with GladeKit’s layout and how to use the main chat area.

## Project Status Bar

At the top of the app you’ll see the project status bar. The current chat name is shown - use the **+** icon to open a new chat. The **left dot** is the game engine plugin connection; the **right dot** is the GladeKit backend - these dots should both be green for the app to work.

Below the status bar is the main chat area where you can ask or instruct GladeKit to do anything.

## Chat Window

Type in the input area and send messages; the AI responds and acts according to the **Agent Mode** you have selected. The **Changes** section can be expanded - when the agent makes changes in Unity, it lists them and lets you **Keep All** or **Undo All**.

## User Settings

Open the settings window by pressing the Settings gear icon on the left hand side.

Here, you can update the theme of the app and find various other useful settings, such as changing the models that are available to select from in the **Models** tab of the chat bar.
