## Design analysis

This shows the desktop version of Qwen Chat for the week of 2026-11-02, before scrolling. A pale gray sidebar takes up about a fifth of the screen width. The message box is the largest item on the screen. The hint text in the message box is lighter than a common accessibility guideline recommends. The outline of the message box is very faint against the white background. The heading above the message box asks how it can help. There are no suggested prompts. There is no note that it can make mistakes. No product change was identified this week.

## Menu items

- In the side menu: an icon button (split-square icon), New Chat, Search Chats, Community, Coder, Create, Projects, New Project, All chats
- In the bar across the top: a model picker, Upgrade, an icon button (dashed-square icon)
