Starting & Configuring Chats

While Agents excel at running consistent workflows to deliver consistent outputs, Chat excels at offering an open ended assistant to get started quickly to ask adhoc questions or complete adhoc tasks. Underneath, Chat has access to the same connectors and capabilities of Agents so you can expect the same level of analysis and same rich outputs from graphs to presentation ready documents. 

Note: This feature is not available by default. If interested, please reach out to your Account Manager or contact Support.
