Steering a running turn

You do not have to wait for Nomi to finish before adding something. A message sent while a reply is running goes to that reply rather than starting a second one, so a correction lands while the work is still happening instead of after it.

Send while Nomi is working

Type in the composer as usual and press Enter. Once saved, your words appear at the bottom of the running reply, above its working line. Messages admitted to the running reply can be picked up between the steps of its work. There is no separate control for this: while a reply runs, the round button beside the field is Stop, so Enter is what sends.

Whether it was picked up

Sending and being read are two separate events. While Nomi has not reached your message, Not read yet. stays under it; after that, hover your message and Nomi says which of the two happened, with the time you sent it.

• Not read yet. The reply is still running and has not reached your message.
• Read mid-reply. Your words went into the reply. It means Nomi saw them, not that Nomi agreed with them.
• Nomi did not read this. The reply finished without ever reaching them.

That last one is normal rather than a fault. Nomi only looks for a new message between steps of its work, so a reply that is a single stretch of writing with nothing else to do has no gap to look in. The more a reply involves (reading a source, making something, checking a product), the more chances your message has to land. When it says it was not read, send it again as an ordinary message.

What a mid-reply message carries

Up to five messages can be added to one reply, even if Nomi has already read some of them. Further messages are saved in the conversation but are not added to the running reply, and a notice explains this.

If the reply finishes before your message can be added, or delivery cannot be confirmed, the saved words remain visible with a notice. Check the read receipt before sending them again. If saving fails, the words return to an empty composer; if you already started a new draft, that draft stays and the original words appear in the failure notice.

Read receipts refresh while the session is open and after reopening it. A pending receipt can become Read mid-reply when the saved status arrives.
