Chat with your agent

You can interact with your agent using a simple chat interface. It allows you to:

• Send messages to your agent and review their responses.
• See how agents reason, visualizing their thought processes.
• Upload files to share with agents to improve their responses or help you get work done.

Sending messages

To send messages to an agent, use the message field at the bottom of the page. If you need to send longer messages that need multiple lines, use Shift+Enter.

• Send button: Send your message (or press <Enter>).
• Attach files button: Upload files for the agent to use for context or Q&A. Uploaded files are only available in this specific chat conversation.

Managing chats

Chats allow you to have specific conversations with agents, helping them focus on specific context and tasks and remember the conversation. They allow you to return to a conversation with full context and history.

Use the sidebar on the left to:

• Create new chats
• Rename and delete chats using the button
• Search chats by name

We recommend organizing your chats based on topics, contexts, or specific uploaded files.

Details, Reasoning, and Files

To better understand what your agent does and how it's thinking about the work it's doing, you can use the right sidebar to:

• Details: See more information about the agent's capabilities and version.
• Reasoning: Understand exactly what your agent is thinking with real-time visualization of your agent's thought processes. If this agent has reasoning disabled, this tab will not be available.
• Files: View and upload files used by agents in this specific conversation.

Working with your agent

To start your conversation:

1. Ask the agent about its capabilities:

   What can you do for me?

2. Based on the agent's response, you can begin assigning tasks. For example, with a data analysis agent:

   What are the visitor rate trends on the blog subsite in the past 3 months?

3. Attach relevant files if needed using the Files tab.

Understanding your agent

To gain a deeper understanding of how agents think about the work they're performing, you can use the Reasoning tab. Reasoning provides real-time visualization of your AI agent's thought processes. This transparency enhances understanding and trust, showing how the agent plans, reasons, and makes decisions. If enabled, the Reasoning tab contains the agent's running thought process.
