Problem

Whenever I hit the "New session" button. Although the session id is changing, I felt ambiguous that the application actually create a new session or not since the previous input text is still there.

Solution

Clear all the input message when creating a new session

This method is quite straightforward and simple with zero effort.

Create a "What can I help with?" screen, initial screen or whatever called.

This solution allows user to type a question, or click to the Pill button (like an example below) to quick access to the prompt. This one will make the user interface looks more user-friendly and simpler to use.

Example: ChatGPT initial screen image

Here is my video when I hit a "New Session" button.

I felt ambiguous that the application actually create a new session or not since the previous input text is still there.

I think the solution to the ambiguity could be to disable the "New session" button once you are already in a new session.

That being said, we are considering a slightly larger re-design of the prompt box as well as the general UI, so we'll keep this in mind for future design efforts.

another idea around session: Would be nice to have a smaller session column, this is currently to big, or we should be able to hide/unhide it. Create a new session could be done with a +. This is not user friendly because the "session page" is too wide, It can only be used in a full screen.
