Core Features
AI Chat Interface
Use chat, mentions, models, and citations in AINexLayer
The chat interface is where you talk to your workspace knowledge and tools.
Layout
- Composer — type messages,
@mentions, and send - Thread — assistant replies, tool activity, and citations
- Model selector — Auto or a specific enabled model
- + menu — Upload Files, open Connectors, manage tools
- Sidebar — New chat, Recents, Library, Connectors
Routes live under your workspace: /dashboard/{workspace}/new-chat and individual chat IDs.
Mentions (@)
| View | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Files & Folders | Focus retrieval on Library content |
| Connectors | Prefer a connected account or native scraper |
| Chats | Reference another conversation |
Mentioning a connector is especially useful for live tools that should not be skipped on a plain question.
Models
- Pick a model per chat from the composer.
- Manage models opens Workspace settings → Models.
- There you connect providers, enable models, and set role defaults (chat, vision, image generation where available).
See LLM Providers and Model Configuration.
Citations
When the answer uses retrieved knowledge or web results, inline citations open a panel with the supporting source. Prefer cited claims for reports and customer-facing replies.
Working styles
- Knowledge Q&A — upload docs, ask, cite
- Connector-assisted —
@Slack/@Googlestyle workflows after connecting - Native research — ask the agent to use scrapers, or run them in API Playground
- Automations — schedule or trigger agent work outside a single chat (see Automations in the sidebar)
