Starting a Conversation

The chat interface is where you interact with Neural Factory agents. It feels like a natural conversation while giving you access to your organization’s knowledge and tools.
Neural Factory chat interface with a conversation

The chat interface

  • Sidebar (left) — Conversation history organized by date, plus navigation to other sections
  • Message area (center) — The conversation thread with your messages and agent responses
  • Input bar (bottom) — Where you type messages, select agents, and attach files

Starting a new chat

  1. Click New Chat in the sidebar
  2. Select an agent from the agent picker (see Selecting an Agent)
  3. Type your question in the input bar
  4. Press Enter or click the send button

Understanding responses

When an agent responds, you may see:
  • Plain text answers — Direct responses based on the agent’s instructions and general knowledge
  • Cited answers — Responses with numbered citations like [1], [2] referencing documents from connected knowledge bases (see Citations & Sources)
  • Tool outputs — Results from tools the agent used (web searches, code execution, external integrations)
Responses stream in real-time — text appears progressively as the agent generates it.

Following up

Conversations are contextual. The agent remembers what you’ve discussed in the current session, so you can follow up naturally:
You: What is our parental leave policy? Agent: According to the Employee Handbook [1], the company offers… You: How does that compare to the industry standard? Agent: Based on the policy I just described…

Tips for effective conversations

  • Be specific — “What are the Q3 revenue targets for EMEA?” works better than “Tell me about targets”
  • Ask one thing at a time — Split complex multi-part questions into a sequence for better results
  • Provide context — Add details when needed: “I’m working on the Acme Corp proposal…”
  • Use follow-ups — Build on previous answers rather than starting fresh each time
