Running Your First AI Model or Agent

Dot enables you to run AI models and agents to automate tasks and workflows. To get started with your first agent, you’ll use Focused Mode, which is designed for more complex and structured processes.

Step 1: Activate Focused Mode

Begin your session in Focused Mode to work with AI agents that manage complex tasks, multi-step workflows, and automated processes.

Step 2: Choose an AI agent

Select the AI agent best suited for your task. You can work with:

• Novus Agents, which are pre-built, ready-to-use agents designed by the Novus team for common business workflows.
• Custom Agents, which you or your team have built and tailored to your organization’s specific needs.

When you initiate the task, the agent will remain active throughout the conversation. There’s no need to reselect it unless you switch to a different agent.

Step 3: Start Chatting with the Agent

Once your agent is active, you can send prompts or commands. The agent will handle the task, whether that’s generating content, processing data, or managing a workflow.

Step 4: Track Agent Activity

While the agent works, you can review its actions and monitor its decision-making process in the Playground Panel.

Dot provides insights into how tasks are handled, which models are used, and the workflow's progress.

Step 5: Continue Without an Agent (Optional)

If you want to continue the conversation without agent involvement, you can deactivate the agent at any time. Dot will then respond directly to your prompts without the active workflow or task management of the agent.

👉 Tip: Focused Mode is best when your task requires precision and consistency. Activate an agent to automate multi-step workflows, manage complex processes, and ensure accurate, repeatable outcomes.
