Pause Cora in the pill

2 min Mac and Windows Updated 14 October 2026 · App 0.4.4

Pause Cora puts the conversation on hold: Cora stops talking, your microphone goes off, and nothing from your screen is sent to Cora until you resume. The chat stays open, and when you resume Cora picks up the thread where you left it.

Pause Cora

  1. While the pill is green, click Pause Cora, the round button with two bars beside the X on the left of the pill.

    The green pill over the desk, status Listening...; an arrow points to the outlined Pause Cora button.
    1 Pause Cora sits beside End conversation.
  2. Check the pill: it turns grey, the pause button turns orange, and the status reads Paused. Cora stops mid-sentence and cannot hear you.

    The pill paused, greyed with the status Paused and the pause button orange; the Paused status and the orange button are outlined.
    2 Grey with an orange button means paused.

Resume

  1. Click the orange button again, now Resume Cora.

  2. Listen as Cora picks up where you both were, such as the step you were on. Carry on talking to Cora as before.

What happens next

The conversation carries on in the same chat. To stop altogether instead, click End conversation; the pill goes purple and the chat is saved under Chats.
