# The prompt box

> Understand how the prompt box brings together your request, context, interaction choices, and intended outcome.

The prompt box is the entry point to a [Conversation](/chat/conversations). Use it to explain what you need, add relevant context, choose how you want to interact with Replit, and name the outcome you want.

<Note>
  Workspace permissions, integrations, and security are managed outside the
  prompt box. The prompt box can use context that is available to you.
</Note>

## Ask or describe the task

Write a question, instruction, or task in plain language. You can continue in the same Conversation as you clarify your request or refine the result.

[Start a conversation](/home/start-a-conversation) to try the prompt box.

## Add the right context

Give Replit the information it needs for the task. You can attach a file, refer to a connected tool, ask Replit to search the web, or bring in existing work such as a Figma design. Access to connected services depends on your Workspace settings and permissions.

* [Work with files](/chat/upload-and-use-files)
* [Connectors](/features/integrations/overview)
* [Web Search](/features/agent/web-search)
* [Import a Figma design](/design/import-figma-designs-into-replit-design)

## Choose how to interact

Choose the experience that fits your task. Agent Modes change how Replit approaches the work. When available, the Model selector lets you choose a model instead of using Auto. Voice Mode lets you speak your request.

* [Model selector](/chat/model-selector)
* [Voice Mode](/chat/voice-mode)

## Name the outcome

Describe the result you want, such as an answer, a recurring Routine, an app, a presentation, a design, or an asset. Replit uses that intended outcome to guide the work that follows.

* [Explore use cases](/use-cases)
* [Build your first app](/build-an-app)
* [Create a design](/create-a-design)
* [Create a presentation](/features/artifact-types/slide-decks)
