Chat is the main way you interact with Dimension. Ask questions, give instructions, and Dimension takes action across your connected tools.

​
What you can do

​
Ask questions

  • “What meetings do I have today?”
  • “What’s the status of the authentication issue in Linear?”
  • “Find the design doc for the new onboarding flow”

​
Take actions

  • “Send an email to Sarah about the project update”
  • “Create a Linear issue for the login bug”
  • “Post a message in #engineering on Slack”

​
Create content

  • “Draft a presentation about our Q4 results”
  • “Create a spreadsheet comparing our pricing tiers”
  • “Write a project brief for the mobile app redesign”

​
Multi-step tasks

  • “Go through my unread emails and create Linear issues for any action items”
  • “Check my calendar for tomorrow and prepare briefing notes for each meeting”
  • “Analyze our GitHub PRs from last week and write a summary for the team”
Dimension automatically figures out the best way to handle your request — simple tasks run directly, complex ones get broken into steps.

​
Approvals

For sensitive actions like sending emails, creating issues, or posting messages, Dimension pauses and asks for your approval before proceeding. When this happens, you can:
  • Accept — run the action as proposed
  • Reject — cancel it
  • Edit — modify the details before approving (e.g., tweak an email draft)
  • Respond — give Dimension more context to adjust its approach
You can configure which actions need approval in your settings, or turn off approvals entirely for tools you trust.
You can also ask Dimension in chat to adjust your approval preferences — e.g., “stop asking for approval before sending Slack messages.”

​
Execution modes

Fast and lightweight. Best for simple questions, quick lookups, and straightforward actions like sending an email or creating an issue.
You can switch between modes at any time using the selector in the chat input.

​
Voice input

Click the microphone button in the chat input to dictate your message instead of typing.

​
File attachments

You can drag and drop files into chat or use the attachment button. Attach a file and ask Dimension to summarize it, analyze it, or use it as context for a task.
Supported file formats: images, PDF, DOCX, TXT, XLSX, CSV, PPTX, audio, and video.

​
Threads

Each conversation is a thread. You can search past threads with Cmd+K, rename them, or delete them. Dimension remembers the full context of each thread.
