Getting more done

Give the whole job at once instead of one small step per message. "Do all twelve" beats twelve messages.

You can keep typing while the agent works. Queue the next request and it starts when the current one ends, so the agent never waits for you.

Noticed it heading the wrong way? Steer: your message goes into the current run and it changes course now, instead of finishing the wrong thing first.

Each chat has its own agent. Start a few for different jobs and move between them while they work, the way you would check in on several people.

Have a quick question about a chat that does not belong in it? Use a side chat, so the main chat stays focused.

Ask for the finished thing, not text to copy: a Word document, a spreadsheet, a PDF, saved where you need it.

Ask for short answers when that is all you need. "Yes or no, then one line why" saves you reading time.
