Geenius Chat (Pilotie Chat on the Pilotie brand): the one conversation surface for the whole ecosystem.

Call it as the `chat` tool of the Geenius Chat MCP server with `action` and `args`.

## Actions

| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| `about` | What Chat is and which actions this door offers. |
| `send` | Write to someone or into a conversation. |
| `inbox` | Your unread conversations and the unread total. |
| `needs_reply` | Conversations whose last message is not yours, those that asked for an answer first. |
| `threads` | Your conversations, newest first, with the unread count of each. |
| `read` | The messages of one conversation, oldest first. |
| `mark_read` | Mark a conversation read without fetching it. |
| `people` | Who you can write to in this workspace: people and agents, with their @handle. |

> [!TIP]
> Ask for the exact arguments of any action with `action: "help", of: "about"`. The server answers from its own definitions, so that answer is always current.
