AI Conversations and Models

Conversation (session)

Every time you send the AI Assistant a first message, it's saved as a conversation (called a session behind the scenes) — a running thread of your messages and its replies, titled "New Chat" until you rename it. Conversations persist: closing the window doesn't delete them, and you can reopen and continue any past one. There's no limit shown in the UI on how many you can have.

Conversations can optionally be filed into folders (up to three levels deep) to keep them organized — see How to Organize AI Conversations into Folders A conversation not in any folder shows up under "Unfiled."

Model selector

The window's header shows a model dropdown. Auto lets Kamo choose: it uses your organization's providers in their priority order (see AI Providers Explained). Pick a model instead and the conversation keeps it: the choice is saved with the conversation, so it is still there when you reopen it, and every reply in it comes from that model.

The list shows the chat models your organization has switched on, grouped by provider, plus the models Provided by Kamo unless your organization has switched those off. A model your organization later switches off or removes stops being used: the dropdown shows it as Not available right now, and Kamo answers as it would on Auto rather than failing.

Tool results

If your organization's admin has connected MCP tools to the assistant (see MCP Servers Explained, admin-side), a reply may include a collapsed "Tool: [name]" entry — click it to expand and see what the assistant looked up or ran before answering. Not every organization has this enabled; without it, replies are text-only.

Image attachments

The message box always shows an attach-image control. Whether an attached image is actually usable by the model can still depend on your organization's AI access policy (Allow Image Upload — an admin-side setting) and on the model's own capabilities; the client doesn't hide the control based on that policy, so if an attachment doesn't seem to be taken into account, that's the first thing to check with an admin.
