Words you'll see in Enjoy

Plain explanations of the words Enjoy and your agents use, from project, conversation, and agent to model, effort, worktree, commit, process, and localhost.

Agents and developers use a lot of technical words. You don’t need to learn them all to use Enjoy, but these are the ones you’ll see most often.

Projects and conversations

Project: a folder on your computer that you work on in Enjoy, together with its conversations, documents, and workflows. See Start a new project.
Conversation: a chat with an agent about one task. Each project has its own list of conversations.
Message box: the box at the bottom of a conversation where you type to your agent.
Needs you: the agent is waiting for your answer or approval. The conversation shows Needs input, and the Needs you filter lists every conversation like that.
Queue: when you press Enter to send a message while the agent is working, the message waits in a queue and goes out after the agent finishes what it’s doing. See Send follow-ups while the agent works.
Completed: a conversation you’ve marked as done. Completed conversations stay in the list unless you clear Show completed at the bottom of the list. See Mark a conversation as completed.
Document: a note, plan, or draft in the project’s Files section, under Your documents. You and your agents can both read and edit documents. Enjoy keeps them with the project’s conversations, not in the project folder. See Create a document.
Workflow: saved instructions you can run again whenever you like, or on a schedule. Running a workflow starts a conversation. See What are workflows?
Instructions: guidance in Project settings that agents follow in every conversation of the project. See Give agents instructions for a project.

Agents and AI

Agent: an AI program that works in your project folder. It reads and changes files and runs commands to do what you ask. Enjoy works with Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode, and Antigravity. See Which AI agents work with Enjoy?.
AI provider: the company behind an agent, such as Anthropic for Claude Code or OpenAI for Codex. Most agents ask you to sign in with your account from their provider.
Model: the AI an agent uses to think and write. Each agent offers its own models. You choose one under Model in the agent settings at the bottom of the message box. See Choose a model.
Effort: how much thinking the agent puts into its work. The levels, such as Low, Medium, and High, depend on the agent. See Choose an effort level.
Speed: Standard or Fast. Fast gives quicker responses on agents that offer it, and costs more of your AI usage or credits. See Turn on Fast mode.
Permissions: what the agent may do without asking you first, such as editing files or running commands. Each agent has its own choices. See Choose what your agent can do without asking.
Preset: a saved combination of agent, model, effort, speed, and permission settings that you can switch back to in one click. See Save agent settings as a preset.
Usage limits: how much your AI plan lets you use an agent in a period of time. For some agents, Enjoy shows how much you have left and when it resets. See Check how much usage you have left.
Context: everything an agent can keep in mind during a conversation: your messages, its replies, and what it has read. It has a size limit.
Compacting: when a conversation gets long, some agents summarize its earlier part to make room in their context. While that happens, the conversation shows Compacting.
Agent activity: the step-by-step record of what an agent is doing, such as reading files and running commands. To open it, select the status under a conversation’s title, such as Working. See Follow what your agent is doing.

Websites and running programs

Terminal: a window for typing commands to your computer. Agents run commands for you, so you rarely need one.
Server: a program that runs a website or app so you can open it. Agents often start a development server to show you what they built.
Localhost: an address that means “this computer”, as in http://localhost:3000. The number is the port, which tells your computer which running program to reach.
Process: a program an agent started that keeps running, such as a server. Enjoy lists them under Processes, where you can read their output and stop them. See What’s in the Processes list.
Product browser: the browser beside a conversation. It shows the website your agent is building.
Preview: the website your agent is running, shown beside the conversation. You can also see it from the web app and the iPhone app. See See your site beside the conversation.

Versions and changes

Git: a tool that keeps a history of a project’s files, so you can see what changed and go back. Many software projects use it.
Repository: a project folder that uses Git. People often shorten it to “repo”.
Commit: a saved snapshot of changes in Git, with a short description. When an agent makes a commit, it appears under the agent’s message.
Branch: a separate line of work in a Git project. In a Git project, the current branch shows at the bottom of the message box. See What are commits, branches, and pushing?
Push: sending your commits to an online copy of the project, such as one on GitHub.
Worktree: a copy of your project where an agent can try an idea, like a new look or a new page, without changing the original. If you like the result, you merge it into your project. If not, you delete it. See Try ideas side by side in worktrees.
Merge: bringing the changes from a branch or worktree into your project.

Your account and devices

Unlimited: Enjoy’s plan. It includes one computer, plus your phone and browsers. See The Unlimited plan and free trial.
Computer: the computer where Enjoy runs your projects and agents.
Device: a phone, browser, or other computer that connects to one of your computers to follow and steer the work there. See How Enjoy works on your phone and other devices.
Web app: Enjoy in a web browser, at app.enjoy.dev. It connects to Enjoy on your computer.
Keeping your computer awake: while agents work, the computer app stops your computer from going to sleep and shows a cup icon beside the conversation’s status. See Keep your computer awake.
