# Chat, tasks and long jobs

How the bar’s chat works, what “it” means, running up to 6 tasks, and how long jobs and batches report progress.

- Your sentence moves up; Whiz answers below it with the result. "it/this" means the file in focus: the newest result unless you clicked or pinned another.
- Up to 6 tasks at once in the strip under the field. A second job in a busy task says "Press + to start another task".
- Jobs over 3 seconds show steps, time left and "Keep going in the background"; the menu-bar mark shows a ring and percentage. A job over 8 seconds that ends with the bar closed sends a notification (Open, Share).
- Batches run one file at a time, show each file as it's made, skip a file that fails with a note, and Stop removes what was made.
