Actions in Chat

Access any integration, Agent, Folder, or saved prompt directly in chat using the @ symbol for seamless workflow integration.

Actions in Chat

Actions in Chat transforms your Odeus experience by bringing all your tools directly into any conversation. Instead of switching between different interfaces, you can access integrations, Agents, Folders, and saved prompts with a simple @ symbol, creating a unified Chat where everything you need is just a mention away.

Actions in Chat works in both regular chats and Agent conversations, giving you consistent access to your tools regardless of where you're working.

Knowledge Folders are now called Folders. Find them in the Library → Folders.

How Actions in Chat Works

Type `@` in any chat input field to open the actions menu. This works in both regular chats and when conversing with specific Agents.

> The @ symbol acts as your universal access point to all Odeus resources, making it easy to remember and use consistently.



Start typing to search through your available options, or browse through the first 20 items displayed. The search covers:

* **Integrations**: Connect to external services and APIs
* **Agents**: Access specialized AI helpers you've created or shared with you
* **Folders**: Reference specific document collections
* **Saved Prompts**: Use templates from your prompt library

> Only the first 20 matching results appear initially. Type specific names to narrow down results and find exactly what you need.



Either press Enter to select the highlighted option or click directly on the tool you want to use. The chat interface will update to show your selection.



Once added, you'll see the tool's logo and name displayed in blue within the chat interface, confirming the active connection.

> The visual indicator ensures you always know which tools are active in your current conversation.

Adding Multiple Tools

After adding your first integration or tool, a **+** button appears in the chat interface. Click this button to add additional tools to the same conversation.

This approach works well when you know you need multiple specific tools for a complex task.



You can type `@` again at any point in the conversation to add more tools. This method feels natural when you discover you need additional resources mid-conversation.

Both methods give you the same functionality, so choose whichever feels more intuitive for your workflow.

How it compares to an Agent

• Agent — Pre-configured: An Agent is set up once with its instructions, knowledge, and connectors, then reused. The same setup applies every time you talk to it. Consistent behavior: Good when a task is repeatable and you want the same tools available every time.

• Actions in Chat — On the fly: You pull in exactly the connectors, Agents, Folders, or prompts you need for this one conversation, when you need them. Flexible access: You get the same connectors and tools you could attach to an Agent, but composed in the moment.

Actions in Chat can only access connectors and tools that you would also be able to use when creating an Agent. What is available is determined by your permissions and the connectors configured in your workspace.

Cross-Context Usage

Actions in Chat works seamlessly across different conversation types:

• Regular Chats: Access any tool to enhance your standard conversations
• Agent Conversations: Add integrations or call other Agents while chatting with a specific Agent
• Mixed Workflows: Combine multiple Agents, integrations, and knowledge sources in a single conversation

This cross-context functionality is particularly powerful for complex workflows where you might need to consult multiple specialized Agents or access different data sources within the same conversation thread.

Troubleshooting

**Check permissions**: Ensure you have access to the integration, Agent, or Folder you're looking for.

**Verify spelling**: Double-check the name you're typing matches the actual resource name.

**Try broader terms**: If searching for a specific name doesn't work, try searching for related keywords.



**Confirm integration status**: Check that the integration is properly configured and active in your workspace.

**Review permissions**: Ensure the integration has the necessary permissions to perform the requested actions.

**Check connection**: Some integrations may require re-authentication or have temporary connectivity issues.
