Oasis Browser Composer and Follow-ups

Most AI browsers live or die in the composer: how fast you can ask the next question, and whether the product nudges you without getting in the way.

Insight for other users: In Oasis, the composer is the text box at the bottom of the assistant. You send follow-up messages in the same thread so context carries forward. When the thread is empty, you get a typewriter-style rotating hint with example prompts so you are not staring at a blank box. After you start chatting, inline suggestion chips can appear under the field. Tap one to send that prompt immediately.

How to use it:

  • Type a request and press Enter (or use the send control).

  • Click a chip when you want a one-tap follow-up.

  • Use Up arrow in the field to recall previous commands when that shortcut is enabled in your build.

A deliberate limit: Chips may fade out after several sends so the UI stays calm. You can always type anything manually.

Questions we would love your take on:

  1. Suggestion chips
    Do one-tap chips speed you up, or do they feel like clutter after the first few messages?

  2. Empty state
    Does the typewriter example prompt help you get started, or would you prefer a static placeholder or no animation at all?

  3. Follow-ups vs new chat
    When do you start a new chat instead of a follow-up in the same thread? What signal should Oasis give you?

  4. Keyboard power users
    Is Up arrow to recall prior commands enough? What else belongs in the composer (slash commands, @ tab, insert from page)?

  5. For the Oasis team
    After a few sends, did chips disappearing feel right, or did you want them to stay visible longer?

Tell us what your ideal composer looks like. We are tuning this actively.
