Agents

In AINexLayer, the chat agent is the assistant in New chat. It can retrieve from your Library, call connected tools, and run native scrapers when your question requires it.

What the agent can do

• Answer from documents — retrieve and cite Library content
• Use connectors — live tools after you connect accounts (mention with @ for best results)
• Use native scrapers — public web/data pulls (also available in API Playground)
• Respect agent permissions — allow / deny / ask rules under User settings → Agent Permissions
• Run automations — scheduled or triggered jobs from Automations in the sidebar

Tools in chat

Open the composer + menu → Manage tools to see tools available for the conversation, including connector tools.

Practical tips

1. Prefer @ mentions when you want a specific file or connector.
2. Keep system instructions short and policy-focused in workspace settings.
3. Use API Playground when you need to inspect scraper inputs/outputs outside of chat.
4. Review Agent Permissions if the agent is blocked from an action you expect.
