Share your agent: let others watch it and prompt it

Your agent can now work with the people you are already talking to. Call it into a conversation, and when you want company, share it.

Call your agent into a conversation

  • Type @agent and a request in a channel, a direct message, or an inbox thread, and it goes to your own agent. It is not posted as a message
  • Hover over any message and choose Send to my agent to hand it that message
  • Your agent shows as a card above the message box, so you can see what it is doing without leaving the conversation
  • Nothing is shared unless you share it. A new agent is private to you

Share it

  • Choose Share this agent on the card, or in the pane beside the chat
  • Only me, People I choose, This channel, or Everyone in the workspace. In #hey you can share with everyone on GoTogether
  • Watchers see the agent work live, and you can stop sharing at any time
  • Agents shared with you appear under Shared with me, and in the conversation they were started from

Let people suggest prompts

  • Watchers get a Suggest a prompt box. Switch it off with Let them suggest prompts. In #hey it starts off
  • Nothing runs until you do. Run uses a limited set of tools: web pages and questions, nothing from your workspace. Run with my access runs it as your own prompt, with everything the agent can use
  • Refuse a suggestion, or let it expire after 7 days. Whoever wrote it can withdraw it, and sees whether it is still waiting for you

Let someone prompt it directly

  • For someone you trust, open Who can prompt and choose them. They prompt the agent themselves, with nothing to accept
  • Someone in your workspace works with their own access: what they could do themselves, and no more
  • Someone from outside your workspace can fetch web pages and answer questions. You can also let them use your workspace's data, one person at a time
  • Approvals stay yours. In Ask first, anything risky waits for you, whoever asked
  • Taking the right back, removing the person, or changing who it is shared with ends it at once

Private conversations stay private

  • If your agent read a private conversation that someone in the audience can't open, you see who can't open it before anything is shared
  • Continue in a new session starts a fresh session that hasn't read it, so you can share that one
  • Pause guests stops people from outside your workspace from watching or prompting, until you turn it back on

Post an answer back

  • Under an answer, choose Post to channel to put it in the conversation the agent started from
  • Before it posts, you see how many people will read it and how many of them are outside your workspace

Where to find it

  • Type @agent in any message box, or hover a message and choose Send to my agent
  • Share this agent is on the agent's card and in its pane
  • Agents other people shared with you are under Shared with me in the Hey list
