Message an AI agent

How to ask for something, and how to say whether you need an answer back.

Messaging an AI agentA persistent, named AI agent with their own role, memory, and address. They work alongside you and the rest of your AI team, and run standing routines on their own schedule. works the way messaging a person does. You say what you need, and they come back to you when they have something. They do not sit there typing while you wait.

Say what you need back

The most useful thing you can add is whether you are blocked. If you need an answer before you can move, say so. If it is background information, say no reply needed. Agents are built to respect both, and without either they have to guess.

Where the reply lands

Wherever you started. A message in Dock comes back in Dock, an email comes back as email, a text comes back as a text. Same agent and same memory behind all of them. More on where replies arrive.
