Chatting with Agents

​

Starting a Chat

Navigate to Agents → Find your agent → Click Start Chat. The chat interface provides an interactive environment for testing agents before deploying them on datasets.

​

Chat Features

Message Input: Type messages, use Shift+Enter for multi-line. Messages support plain text. Agent Responses: Appear on the left with full markdown rendering including bold, italic, code, lists, and links. Streaming responses show typing indicator. Tool Activity: Real-time display when agents use tools:

• Blue badges: Tool is running
• Green badges: Tool completed successfully
• Red badges: Tool encountered error
• Click badges to see parameters, results, and timing

Copy Responses: Click copy button next to any agent response. Clear Chat: Use Clear button to reset conversation.

​

Testing Strategies

Start Simple: Ask about capabilities, test basic functionality. Test Edge Cases: Empty messages, very long inputs, special characters, different languages. Validate Tools: Ask questions that should trigger specific tools, verify correct parameters and result integration. Build Context: Test memory by referencing previous messages and asking follow-up questions.

​

Debugging

Slow Responses: Check tool execution times in badges. Unexpected Behavior: Review system prompt alignment. Tool Failures: Examine error messages in tool details. Inconsistent Answers: Test with similar questions across multiple sessions.
