`from="user"` draws the turn on a full-width gray band with a dim `›`. Assistant turns, the default, start with a dim `•` in the gutter and stack their children with a blank line between them, so paragraphs, [lists and tables](/components/codex/markdown) read like Codex's rendered markdown. Both render a `div` and take all of its props.

| Prop | Default | Description |

| `from` | `assistant` | `user` or `assistant`. |
