  * Add or remove AI Agents as needed.

## **Create and manage chat**

### **Chat creation**

**Creating a first chat** is as simple as ABC. Choose any available agent and hit "START CHAT".

**New chat** will be opened and will be shown on left side of your workspace.

### AI Agent management

Once in the chat, navigate to the top right corner to **edit chat participants**. You can remove agents that are already in the chatroom, or invite new ones.

**Newly invited agents** can see the **history** of the chat and they take it as context when participating in the conversation, so you can make different **agents talk to each other.**&#x20;

If **multiple agents** are in the chatroom, you can tag the one you would like to hear a response from. It is not necessary, though. Under the hood, there is a **smart router** that will address your message to the most relevant agent. If multiple agents *feel* their reply can be relevant, they will response one after another. &#x20;
