NNyquest docs

Welcome to Matrix

Matrix is the terminal chassis — green-on-black, monospace fonts, ASCII flourishes. It's for people who think in shells, prefer keyboard to mouse, and would rather see a command prompt than a chat bubble.

What's where

  • Top bar: History and New chat are on the left. Chat controls in the header include the model picker, Nyquest / BYOK, DynaRAG, and Optimize. The right side holds account controls, the palette button (chassis picker), Help, and the circular navigation button.
  • Main panel: terminal-style chat with [USER] and [ASSISTANT] prefixes. Code blocks are unstyled — they look like the surrounding text.
  • Status line at bottom: model name, token cost, response time.
  • Workspace navigation: the circular button on the right of the header opens Chat, Studios, Splicer, Agents, Vault, and More. Usage, API keys, providers, settings, and admin (if available) live under More.
  • Phones: the model stays visible in the header. Open Chat controls for BYOK, DynaRAG, and Optimize; use the circular navigation button for workspace destinations and the header Menu drawer for conversations, account controls, and the chassis picker.
  • History: the History button in the top bar slides your sessions in over the main panel, with ops listed above them.

What it's good for

Matrix shines when you're doing code-heavy work, debugging, or anything where the visual chrome of other chassis would feel overdone. Output is dense and uniform — you can read 50 lines of code in a chat bubble without scrolling. Stop button is a literal [ STOP ]. Streaming is character-by-character with a blinking cursor.
