## Design analysis

This shows the desktop version of Poe for the week of 2026-11-02, before scrolling. A narrow sidebar of icons runs down the left side. A purple banner across the top and the message box stand out most. All measured text stands out enough from its 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. The message box says "Start a new chat". There are no suggested prompts. There is no note that it can make mistakes. The main screen looks the same as the week of 2026-10-26.

## Menu items

- In the side menu: an icon button (pencil square icon), an icon button (magnifier icon), an icon button (star bubble icon), an icon button (compass icon), an icon button (four shapes icon), an icon button (zigzag arrow icon), an icon button (shapes plus icon), an icon button (arched bars icon), an icon button (tray arrow icon), an icon button (gear icon)
- In the bar across the top: an icon button (slashed pencil icon)
- In the message box: an icon button (@ sign icon), an icon button (slider icon)
