Using Dianoetic
Chat
Attachments, zip files, slash commands, voice, sharing and keyboard shortcuts.
Attachments
Drag files onto the chat, paste them, or choose + next to the message box. You can attach up to 6 files per message, including up to 4 images.
| Type | What happens |
|---|---|
| Images | PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF. The model sees the image. |
| Text and code | Code, Markdown, CSV, JSON, config files and more, up to 200 KB each. |
| Zip files | Opened in your browser. See below. |
PDFs aren't supported yet. Paste the text or attach a screenshot instead.
Zip files
Attach a .zip to share a whole project. Dianoetic opens it in your browser and sends the list of every file plus the contents of the text files, up to about 150 KB in total.
- It skips
node_modules,.git, build folders, lockfiles and binary files like images. - If some files don't fit, it says how many were left out. Zip a smaller folder to include them.
- Password-protected zips can't be opened.
Slash commands
Type / at the start of the message box for a menu of commands. Press / anywhere on the page to jump there.

Thinking and checks
While Dianoetic works, the line above its answer shows what it's doing. Click it to read the reasoning. To open it by default, turn on Settings → General → Show thinking.
Code in answers is checked automatically for cut-off blocks, unbalanced brackets, invalid JSON and placeholders. At Ultra effort, problems are fixed before you see the answer.
Voice
Choose the microphone to speak instead of typing. It uses your browser's speech recognition, so it works best in Chrome and Edge.
Sharing and exporting
Use /share to get a read-only link to a chat. Anyone with the link can read it. Use /download to save one chat, or export every chat from Settings → Data controls.
