New Chat
The New Chat page contains a chat input where you can ask a security question or describe a task in natural language. Perception will respond to your question, or if applicable, suggest an appropriate playbook for your task.
Below the chat input, you can also find suggested actions to take get the most out of Perception. These are contextualized to your tenant and role and might include making configuration changes to set up new agents or add automation rules to playbooks, reminders to review sessions waiting for input, or suggestions to run a playbook.

Sessions
The Sessions page lists all sessions across all agents. You can apply filters or toggle between a Kanban board view (organized by status) and a list view.
