How to work with the agent

The agent works as a doer, not a search box: it pulls data from your connected services and files, does the work and hands back a result — a spreadsheet, a report, a letter, a message.

This guide is about phrasing tasks so you get what you need on the first try.

The first 10 minutes

1

Connect a service you use every day

Go to Integrations: marketplace, CRM, email, bank, telephony, accounting — wherever you normally export numbers by hand.

2

Ask for a report you already make yourself

Not "what can you do", but "assemble what I assemble every Monday". You will see the result on your own data straight away.

3

Look at what comes back

The agent replies in the chat and attaches a file — spreadsheet, document, deck — that you can forward as is.

4

If you need it regularly, say so

One sentence turns the report into a scheduled task that arrives on its own.

About the question “what can you do”

It is the most common first question and the least useful one: the answer is a list of capabilities that leads nowhere. One real task of yours says more about the product than any description.

What to know right away

  • New topic — new chat. The agent re-reads the whole conversation at every step, so a sales report and a supplier contract do not belong in one chat. See Chats and context.
  • Send exports as files. Spreadsheets, documents, PDFs, photos: a file lands in the working environment and the agent computes over every row. A short fragment is fine to paste. See Files and results.
  • Name the service with @. A connection alone does not tell the agent which account this task needs. See Connected services.
  • Make changes in small groups. Edits go straight into your service, so "all the cards" is worth replacing with a condition and a limit. See Changes in your services.
  • Standing rules go to memory. Say "remember: …" and the agent will apply it in new chats. See Agent memory.
  • Repeating work becomes a task. If you are copying the same request a second time, put it on a schedule. See Scheduled tasks.

Cheat sheet

  1. New topic — new chat.
  2. In the request: what to take, what to do, in what form to deliver, for what period.
  3. Exports as files, short fragments as text.
  4. Service via @.
  5. Standing rules as "remember: …".
  6. Anything regular as "create a task: … every Monday at 10:00".
  7. Corrections should be pointed, not "redo everything"; changes in a service start as a list, then a small group.
  8. Make your first task a real one, not "what can you do".
