Writing a request

The text box is where everything happens. You type what you need and the agent does it.

How to write a good request

• State the result you want, not the steps. “Put together a summary of this week’s complaints” works better than “read the complaints and then summarize them”.
• Give the context you have in your head: who it’s for, which period, in which tool you want it.
• Ask for changes in the same chat. If something isn’t right, write what to change and the agent adjusts it without starting over.
• Split big requests. If they’re two different things, send them as two messages.

The text box

• Enter sends the message. Shift + Enter adds a line break.
• The + button on the left opens the menu to Upload files or photos, Add a new connection or pick a skill.
• On the right is the send button and, next to it, the model selector.
• The three-dot button, if it appears, holds the chat’s extra options.

The model selector

Next to the send button you can see and change the model the agent uses in that conversation. Which models are available is decided by nouter, not by your company. The No agent option leaves the conversation without an agent, for when you just want to write without it acting.

Suggestions

On the Home screen, under the box, the Get started list shows example tasks. Clicking one copies the request into the box so you can edit it before sending.

Tip

If the agent got it wrong, don’t delete the conversation: write what you weren’t expecting. It has all the context of what you discussed and corrects itself along the way.
