When you open AI Chat, you will see a personalized greeting with your name and four quick access feature cards: Summarize, Flashcards, Translate, and Chart.
You can interact with AI in two ways:

Voice input : When the input field is empty, a microphone icon appears instead of the send button. Tap it to start recording:

To start a new conversation, tap the edit icon in the top-right corner of the header. This clears the current chat and returns to the empty state.
AI responses stream in real-time. After each response, suggested follow-up questions may appear.
