Getting started with Azura

This guide walks you through your first visit to Azura: signing in, finding your way around, and starting a conversation.

​

Sign in

Azura uses Economic ID for sign-in. Open Azura and you are redirected to id.ecowestern.net to sign in, then returned to where you started. See Sign in and your account for details.

​

The home page

After signing in, you land on the home page:

• The heading reads “Start with what is on your mind.”
• The “New conversation” button starts a fresh chat.
• Three quick-start cards each start a conversation:
  • “Work through an idea” — “Turn a rough thought into a clear plan.”
  • “Build something” — “Create code, documents, or a working draft.”
  • “Understand a topic” — “Get a useful explanation without the fluff.”
• “Continue where you left off” lists your recent conversations, with a “View all” link that opens the sidebar.

​

The interface at a glance

On small screens the sidebar becomes a slide-over, opened with the hamburger icon.

​

Start a conversation

Choose any of these:

1. On the home page, click “New conversation” or a quick-start card.
2. In the sidebar, click “New Chat”.
3. Press Ctrl Shift N (or Cmd Shift N).

A new conversation is titled “New Conversation” until you send your first message, after which Azura generates a title automatically.

​

The welcome screen

New conversations show “Where should we begin?” with the subtext “Ask a question, bring a draft, or describe the thing you want to make.” Below it, suggestion chips rotate over time. Click one to start, or just type your own message in the Omnibox.

​

Send your first message

1. Click the Omnibox at the bottom of the screen.
2. Type your message.
3. Press Enter to send. Press Shift Enter for a new line without sending.

Azura responds as it works. See Using the Omnibox for everything the input box can do.
