Overview

You can trigger AI Boxes directly from the chat interface using @ mentions. This lets you run automated workflows without leaving your conversation.

How to Use @Box Mentions

1

Type @

In the message input, type @ to open the Box selector dropdown.

Choose a Box

Browse the list of available Boxes, filtered by those you can trigger. Each entry shows:
  • Box name and icon
  • Category
  • Credit cost per run
3

Select a Run

Choose between:
  • New full run — Execute a fresh run
  • Past run — Reference results from a previous completed run (no additional credit cost)

Send Your Message

The selected Box appears as a blue pill above the message input. Type your message and send — the Box runs and results appear in the conversation.
