Chat is the Ask surface. Start with a question, an investigation, or an outcome you want. A conversation can carry a selected model, attached tables and files, streamed progress, structured answers and durable artifacts.
Start a chat
- Open a ready project and select Chat.
- Choose New chat. The conversation is saved when you send the first message.
- If more than one model is available, select one. Your choice applies to this conversation; otherwise it follows the current default.
- Optionally attach context:
- Browse and attach relevant tables.
- Upload files, when attachments are enabled. Supported data files: CSV, TSV, JSON, JSONL, Parquet, Arrow, Feather, XLSX and XLS.
- Enter your question or instruction and send it.
- Follow the streamed response and tool progress.
- Stop the turn if needed. AgentFlow keeps the partial result.
- Open generated files in the artifact browser.
- Ask follow-up questions or attach more context.
- Rename the conversation once it’s saved.
Leave and come back
If you leave a live conversation and return, AgentFlow reattaches to its event stream, so you don’t lose progress.
With a response contract, the final answer is validated and shown as the configured fields: commentary, tables, charts, follow-up questions or your own fields. Without one, answers are free-form Markdown.
