Running a task

Using the agent is easy β€” you chat with it like anything else, but you can hand it bigger jobs.
1

Open the Agents tab

Click Agents in the left menu and start a new chat (the + button).
2

Give it a task

Type your request in plain words. Be clear about the outcome you want.

3

Watch it work

The agent shows the steps it takes β€” like searching or reading a file. This is normal and helps you trust the result.

Collect the result

If it created a file, it opens in the preview panel on the right β€” read it, copy it, or download it. See What the Core Agent can do.

Looking back at a session

Every task lives in a saved session in the list on the left. Reopen any session to re-read what the agent did, continue the conversation, or grab a file it made earlier.
If an agent gives a surprising result, reopen the session and read its steps. You’ll usually see exactly where it went off track β€” often a missing instruction or the wrong tool. Fix it in the settings and try again.

Sharing a session

Made something useful? Share the whole conversation with a link.
1

Find the Share option

Hover the session in the list (or use the session menu) and choose Share.
The share panel for an agent session with a copyable link

Sharing an agent session creates a link others can open.

2

Copy and send the link

Click Copy, then paste the link into an email or message.
Anyone with the link can see the shared session, including any files it produced. Only share with people you trust, and turn the link off from the same panel if you change your mind. If the agent used private documents or connected tools, make sure you’re comfortable sharing what’s in the conversation.
