The Agent Chat Experience​

When chatting with an agent, the experience is slightly different from a regular chat:

Agent Info Banner​

At the top of the conversation, you'll see the agent's information:

  • Agent name and avatar
  • A brief description of what the agent does

Model is Pre-Selected​

The AI model is chosen by the agent's creator, so the model selector is hidden. This ensures the agent uses the model best suited for its purpose.

Switching Agents Mid-Conversation​

You can switch to a different agent in the middle of a conversation by:

  1. Typing @ followed by a new agent's name.
  2. Selecting the new agent.
  3. A visual separator will appear in the conversation showing where the agent switch happened.

Filtering Agents​

When using the @ mention dropdown, you can:

  • Search by name — type after @ to filter agents by their name
  • Browse all — just type @ and scroll through the full list

Favoriting an Agent​

If you find an agent you use frequently:

  1. Click the star/heart icon on the agent card or in the agent info.
  2. The agent will be added to your favorites.
  3. Favorited agents appear prominently on the home screen and in the agents page.

Tips​

  • You can have multiple conversations with the same agent — each one is independent.
  • Agents created by your team are shared and visible to you in the "Shared with Me" section.
  • You can create your own agents to automate your specific workflows.
