Chatting with an Agent

Chatting with an AI agent on GuidanceAI is straightforward. Here is how it works.

Starting a Chat

1. Go to your Dashboard and click on an agent from your Purchased Agents section.
2. A new conversation opens automatically.
3. Type your message in the input box at the bottom of the screen.
4. Press Enter or click the Send button.

How Responses Work

When you send a message, the agent responds with streaming text -- you will see the response appear word by word in real-time. This gives you a natural, conversational experience.

All messages are saved automatically to the database. You do not need to do anything to preserve your conversation.

Agent Expertise

Each agent uses its specialised knowledge to provide domain-specific advice. The quality of the response depends on:

• The agent's configured instructions (its personality and expertise)
• Its knowledge base (documents the developer has uploaded)
• Your conversation context -- the agent considers your full conversation when responding

AI Disclaimer

Below the chat input, you will see a disclaimer reminding you that responses are generated by AI. While agents provide helpful guidance, they should not be treated as a substitute for professional advice.

tip

Be specific in your questions. The more detail you provide, the more useful and relevant the agent's response will be.
