--- title: Chat interface | Deal Engine description: "You can now ask Deal Engine questions in plain English, without needing an MCP-connected assistant. Query Engine is a chat interface built into the platform, with its own place in the top navigation.\n\n**Ask questions and get answers in the app**\n\nType a question and Query Engine works through your Deal Engine data to answer it. Most replies arrive within 15 seconds. More involved questions can take a few minutes, and the screen tells you it’s still working and shows a timer. You can stop a reply at any point or retry one that didn’t complete.\n\n**Pick up where you left off**\n\nYour previous chats are listed in the sidebar, newest first. Start a new chat whenever you like, or delete chats you no longer need. Moving to another chat doesn’t cancel a reply in progress. It finishes in the background and is waiting for you when you return.\n\n**Use ready-made skills**\n\nThe Skills library gathers the firm’s skills by category. Open any skill to see what it does, then choose “Run in chat” to start a conversation with it.\n\n**Works on mobile**\n\nOn smaller screens, your chat history moves into a slide-out “Chats” panel.\n\n**Good to know**\n\n- Chat history is saved in your browser. It stays put between sessions on the same device, but it won’t appear on another device and is cleared when you log out.\n- File uploads, model selection and web search aren’t available yet.\n- Query Engine is enabled per workspace. If you don’t see it in the top bar and would like access, contact your account team." image: https://dealengine.tech/hubfs/Putting%20a%20heartbeat%20behind%20your%20CRM.png --- [![logo-blue-white](https://dealengine.tech/hubfs/Website%20%5B2025%5D/Logo/logo-blue-white.svg)](https://dealengine.tech/) - [Product overview](https://dealengine.tech/product) - [For tech leaders](https://dealengine.tech/for-tech-leaders) - [For deal teams](https://dealengine.tech/for-deal-teams) - [Investment Banks](https://dealengine.tech/investment-banks) [Book a demo](https://dealengine.tech/book-a-demo) [![logo-blue-white](https://dealengine.tech/hubfs/Website%20%5B2025%5D/Logo/logo-blue-white.svg)](https://dealengine.tech/) - [Product overview](https://dealengine.tech/product) - [For tech leaders](https://dealengine.tech/for-tech-leaders) - [For deal teams](https://dealengine.tech/for-deal-teams) - [Investment Banks](https://dealengine.tech/investment-banks) [Book a demo](https://dealengine.tech/book-a-demo) new\_feature # Chat interface Chas Frederick ![Chat interface](https://dealengine.tech/hubfs/Putting%20a%20heartbeat%20behind%20your%20CRM.png) You can now ask Deal Engine questions in plain English, without needing an MCP-connected assistant.
