Write your request the way you would say it to a colleague. The composer has six controls:

1. **Attach.** On web and desktop, open **+** to attach files. You can also type `@` for a file or folder. Images can be up to 10 MB. Other files can be up to 50 MB, and you can attach up to 8 per message. Type `$` to add a skill, or `/` to open the command menu.
2. **Plan first.** Turn on **Plan first** from the **+** menu, with Shift+Tab, or with `/plan`. Borg researches and proposes before anything changes. It can read and search. File changes are refused until you implement the plan.
3. **Helper.** Pick Chat or Work before you send.
4. **Model and effort.** Borg Fusion is the model family. Set the effort to Low, Medium, High, or Max.
5. **Dictate.** On Chrome, Edge, and Safari, use the microphone next to Send. A recording can be up to five minutes, and only the transcript is sent. Dictation on the desktop app is temporarily unavailable. On iPhone it runs on the device.
6. **Where and how.** Choose Local, Cloud, or Remote, and choose how much Borg does on its own.

Send when the helper, the effort, and the place are set to what you want.
