+How you greet a user and set suggested prompts when they open the agent's DM depends on which [messaging experience](/ai/developing-agents) your app uses:
 
-```py
+* The **agent messaging experience** (`agent_view`) is the default and the only experience available to apps going forward. Conversations happen in the app's **Messages** tab, so you listen for the [`app_home_opened`](/reference/events/app_home_opened) event and check for the `messages` tab to detect when a user opens the DM, then set suggested prompts at the top of the tab (no `thread_ts` required). Casey uses this approach.
+* The **assistant messaging experience** (`assistant_view`) is the legacy experience, with separate **Chat** and **History** tabs. You listen for the [`assistant_thread_started`](/reference/events/assistant_thread_started) event to detect a thread, then set suggested prompts on it. Existing apps can continue to use this but should migrate to the agent messaging experience.
+
+Refer to the [agent messaging experience changelog entry](/changelog/2026/06/30/agent-messages-tab) for the full list of changes and a migration checklist.
