# Get your Mac's answer back in the chat app > When your Mac takes a message you sent from a chat app to a chat synced from that Mac, its answer is posted back into the same conversation. canonical: https://agentsky.dev/help/mac-replies-in-chat-apps source: https://agentsky.dev/help/mac-replies-in-chat-apps.md updated: 2026-11-03 --- **If a chat-app message goes to a chat synced from your Mac and your Mac takes it, the Mac's answer is posted back into the same chat-app conversation.** What you see in the chat app: 1. Right away, one line: "Working on it on . The reply will be posted here." 2. When the Mac's turn has synced and the answer is complete, the answer is posted there. 3. Answers over 3,500 characters are cut, with a link to the rest in AgentSky. Where: the chat-app conversation you sent the message from. The full chat is still in your workspace ([Sync local Mac chats to your workspace](https://agentsky.dev/help/mac-sync-to-workspace)). Good to know: - If no complete answer arrives within 15 minutes, one note is posted instead, with a link to follow the reply in the chat on AgentSky. - If the synced chat is no longer on AgentSky, one note says so. - In a conversation shared with the workspace, the answer isn't posted. You get "Running on . The reply shows in the chat on AgentSky:" with a link.
