## Design analysis

This shows the desktop version of Le Chat for the week of 2026-11-02, before scrolling. A sidebar on the left takes up about a fifth of the screen width. The message box sits in the middle of the screen. The message box is the largest item on the screen. The text is bright enough against the background to meet a common accessibility guideline. The outline of the message box is faint, but the hint text inside it is easy to read. Four suggested prompts below the message box show what it can do. There is no note that it can make mistakes. A new Apps item with a Preview label appears in the sidebar.

## Menu items

- In the side menu: an icon button (magnifier icon), an icon button (side-panel icon), Work, Code, New Chat, Apps, Context, Scheduled, Upgrade to Pro
- In the bar across the top: an icon button (dashed bubble icon)
- In the message box: a model picker
