Using AI Agent

AI Agent is always accessible no matter where you are in the Letter AI platform. Click on the AI Agent icon in the lower right hand corner, which will open the AI Agent window. You can customize each interaction using the options at the top of the AI Agent window:

  • Expand Window/Chat History: Click the expand arrows to enlarge the window and view your chat history. The AI Agent may use relevant prior messages to provide more context-aware follow-up responses, helping maintain continuity across your conversation.

  • Select Scope: This determines where AI Agent pulls its information from. By default, it uses only your company's library. You can also choose to include public content, your private library, web searches, and General Knowledge. Sources are cited for each response.

  • Language: Choose your preferred language for interacting with the AI Agent.

  • New Chat: Start a new conversation on a new topic or with different settings. This clears previous options like Scope and Language, and resets any prior conversation context used to inform follow-up responses.

  • Attaching Files: To further make AI Agent work for you, attach files for AI Agent to reference in your chat. Click on the paperclip icon in the lower left side of the Agent window to select from your content library, upload files, add URLs, or input text. This is useful for tasks like summarizing documents or drafting responses based on existing materials.

Using AI Agent in Slack and Microsoft Teams

The AI Agent Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations offers two primary capabilities: interacting with the Letter AI Agent directly within Slack and indexing content from specific Slack channels so the AI Agent can draw information from them. Here's how it works:

  1. Interacting with Letter AI Agent in Slack and Teams: Once an workspace administrator has installed the Letter AI Slack / Teams app within the workspace, team members can ask questions and get real-time answers without leaving Slack. The agent can also be added to existing threads.

  2. Using Slack and Teams Channels as a Source: Once a workspace owner has connected Slack / Teams channels and made them available for content ingestion, the AI Agent can then answer questions based on the content of those specific channels.

To add the AI Agent see this article for Slack and this article for Teams.

Simply search for Letter AI Agent. After you've added the App, you will access AI Agent under the Apps section within Slack:

Select Letter AI Agent, and you can ask questions the same way you would in the Letter AI Platform.
