# Cards at the top of a chat
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/chat-cards

While you chat, small cards at the top show what the conversation is about (a track, a proposed day, a list of asks) and who works on it but isn't in the chat. A card opens its Aden page on its own in a small window you can keep beside the chat, dock or pop out.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

While you talk with your team, Aden reads the conversation and puts small
cards at the top of the chat: the tracks someone names, a day someone
proposes, a list of things someone asks for. Click a card and its page opens
on its own in a small window beside the chat, so you can act on it without
leaving the conversation.

It works in Aden's own chat and, in the desktop app, in your WhatsApp,
Instagram and other chats in Links.

## How it works [#how-it-works]

* **A track** someone names ("the hook on Midnight Sun") opens that track.
* **A day** someone proposes ("saturday 2pm?") opens quick create with the
  message in it, to make the session or show.
* **A list** of asks ("can you bounce stems, fix the vocal and send the
  split?") opens quick create with a to-do for each.
* **The people** on a named track who aren't in the chat (its collaborators
  on Aden) show as one card. In an Aden chat, add them one by one or all at
  once. A WhatsApp or Instagram chat can't take them, so there the card
  starts an Aden chat about the track with them, opened beside the one
  you're in.
* The card you opened stays highlighted.
* **On the desktop** the page floats over the window. Drag it to dock it
  beside the page, or out of the window to give it its own.
* **In the browser** it opens in a picture-in-picture window that stays on
  top (Chrome and Edge), or a small window elsewhere.

## Turning it off [#turning-it-off]

In the desktop app, open **Settings**, **Chats** (or search "cards" with
⌘K) and turn off **Cards at the top of chats**. **Suggestions above the
reply box** turns off the one-click suggestions the same way. Both follow
your account, so they apply in the web chat too.
