Using the Chat Interface
Key Takeaway
Chat is the most direct way to communicate with your agent — you can ask for status updates, give targeting or tone instructions, manage campaigns, and ask about specific leads; your agent typically responds within seconds and maintains context across all previous chat, email, and SMS conversations.
Accessing Chat
There are two ways to chat with your agent:
- Full chat page — Click Chat in the sidebar for a full-screen conversation
- Chat panel — Available as a slide-out panel on most dashboard pages
What You Can Ask
Your agent can help with a wide range of tasks through chat:
Status & Updates
- "How are my campaigns doing?"
- "How many leads did you find today?"
- "What's my reply rate this week?"
Instructions & Adjustments
- "Focus on restaurants in the downtown area"
- "Make your emails shorter — 3 sentences max"
- "Don't contact any business with 'franchise' in the name"
Campaign Management
- "Create a new campaign targeting dentists in Portland"
- "Pause the restaurant campaign"
- "How many emails have you sent today?"
Lead Questions
- "Tell me about the hot lead from earlier"
- "What do you know about [lead name]?"
- "Which leads look most promising?"
Response Times
Your agent typically responds within seconds. If your agent is busy processing tasks (sending emails, researching leads), it may take a moment longer. Messages are delivered instantly via the web app.
Tips for Better Conversations
- Be specific — "Focus on restaurants without websites" beats "find better leads"
- One instruction at a time — Give clear, focused guidance
- Provide context — "We just landed a big restaurant client, use that as a case study" helps your agent improve
- Share feedback — "That email to the Portland bakery was perfect — more like that"
Chat History
All conversations are saved and visible in the Chat page. Your agent remembers context from previous conversations across all channels (chat, email, SMS).
