Chat

Chat is where your team and Hops have conversations in a Space. It’s a shared thread history — everything said, decided, and done is visible to everyone in the Space.

​

How chat works

Start a thread. Write a message in the Space. Teammates reply, and Hops can be brought into the conversation with @Hops. Tag Hops. Type @Hops anywhere in a message. Hops responds from the context in this Space. Skills shape the answer. If an installed skill matches the request, Hops uses it automatically and attributes the response like Hops · Pipeline watch so it’s clear which skill ran. Hops shows its work. Every response shows what it used and what it did. Expand any response to see the full trace.

​

Reactions, replies, and pins

• React to any message with an emoji.
• Reply to a specific message to keep context tight.
• Pin a message with the pin icon on hover to make it easy to find later.

​

Pins

Pins flag an important message in a Space so it’s easy to find. Hops already reads every message in the Space, so pinning doesn’t change what it can see — pins are for your team, a quick way to surface a key decision. View every pin in a Space from the Pins tab in the Space sidebar. Removing a pin doesn’t delete the original message.

​

Meetings

When a thread needs a call, create one from the Space and drop the link into chat. Hops supports Google Meet and Zoom. Before you start, connect at least one provider from Settings → Connections: Start a meeting in one of two ways:

• From the tab bar — the meeting control at the right end of the tab bar posts a new message with the join link.
• From the composer — the meeting icon in the composer inserts a link into the message you’re already writing so you can add an agenda first.

Meeting links posted in chat render as a join card.

​

Schedule from a chat

Any useful Hops output (a summary, a report, a check-in) can be scheduled to repeat right from the conversation. See Automation.
