Welcome to Ridgeline
Ridgeline is the clean, modern chassis — layered cards, plain labels, standard layout. It's designed to feel familiar to anyone who's used a modern web app.
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: the active conversation, with messages flowing top to bottom and a chat input pinned at the bottom.
- 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 conversations in over the main panel, with your Cases listed above them.

What it's good for
Ridgeline is the safest pick if you're not sure which chassis fits. The visual hierarchy is clear, nothing's hidden behind clever metaphors, and every feature is surfaced where you'd expect to find it. Use it as your everyday pick and switch to a more specialized chassis (Matrix for code work, Quant for finance) only when the task demands it.
