My assistant: chat, or hand things off
"My assistant" at the top of the sidebar works like the chat box on ChatGPT or Claude. The old "Chat" and "My agent" are now this one entry.
What it does
- Chat: ask anything, draft some text, translate, brainstorm. Turn on "Web search" for fresh public information, or "Use company knowledge" to answer only from your knowledge base, with sources. You can paste images too.
- See everything at a glance: "What is each position doing today?", "What needs me today?", "What did we send recently?", "Where is that return email from last week?" — it looks first, then answers from what it found. Read-only: it changes nothing.
- Hand off a task: say it the way you would to a position; the assistant passes it on (see below).
Handing off a task
- Say it the way you would to a position, e.g. "Have Reddit Ops check today's new posts".
- The assistant picks the position (and the duty in it) and opens a task there; "Handed to Reddit Ops · Own Subreddit" shows under its reply — click it to open the task.
- When the task finishes, or needs your decision, the assistant says so in the same chat, with "Open" or "Decide" right next to it.
What it won't do
- The assistant never changes anything outside by itself. Posting, replying, changing prices or the store are handed to a position; anything external still comes to you as a card to approve.
- When it isn't sure who should do it, it asks instead of guessing, listing the positions to choose from.
Name someone directly
Type @ in the box and pick a position (or a duty inside it). The message goes straight to it.
Suggested questions
Under the box you'll see a few questions based on where you are: "What needs me today?" when cards are waiting, "What did <position> do today?" and a sample hand-off when you have positions, or "Help me set up a position" when you have none yet. They fold away once you start chatting.
Memory
Say "remember: …", or "from now on …", and it will keep it in mind (a small "Noted" appears top-right). "Memory" at the top right lists everything it remembers; delete what you don't want, and it won't add it back on its own. With "Auto memory" off in settings, it only remembers when you say "remember".
Answer colleagues for me
When you work with colleagues (peers or company mode), the top right also has "Answer colleagues for me": who asked you what and what it answered, meeting requests, what you share with colleagues (positions, strengths, when you're free), and asking a colleague's assistant. It isn't shown when you use Agents Workshop on your own.
