Agent room

Work one-to-one with an agent: read the conversation, assign work, stop it, or start fresh.

When to use it

Use this room to assign work to one agent and follow that agent's progress. For instructions to several agents at once, use the User room; to gather opinions on the same question, use the Meeting room.

Open it by clicking an agent's name or indicator in the sidebar. This page covers center agents running inside the center. For web-conversation agents such as Hwayeon or Soram, their web conversation is displayed directly. To be confirmed The exact set of web-conversation agents needs another check against the deployed configuration.

Layout

  1. Status bar: Agent name, three dots, state, and compact indicators in one row.
  2. Conversation list: Your messages and the agent's replies accumulate from top to bottom.
  3. Action row: Reset, Stop, notices, elapsed time, and progress dots below the conversation.
  4. Input: Send an instruction directly to this agent at the bottom.

Status bar

The status bar summarizes this agent's current state. It repeats the sidebar indicator information beside the name.

ItemDisplayMeaning
Three dotsAnimate in sequence or stay stillAnimate only when the sidebar is green (working). They remain still in other states.
StateWorking · Waiting · Held/blocked · Disconnected · UnknownWaiting corresponds to blue (ready); working to green. Held/blocked groups states that cannot accept work, including starting, interrupted, failed, or limit reached, and appears red. Disconnected corresponds to gray (off).
Runtime · Model · Identity · BootLabels and values such as Runtime ready or Boot loadedShows whether the agent is running, which model it uses, whether identity is verified, and whether startup context was loaded. Unknown means it has not yet been confirmed.
Pending requests · SessionPending requests 2 or Session connectedShows the number of your requests not yet handled. If none remain, it shows session status instead.

Hover over the bar to see all current values in a tooltip. On narrow windows, rightmost indicators are omitted first.

Conversation list

Your messages appear on the right; the agent's messages appear on the left. Scroll upward to see earlier conversations.

ControlActionNote
CopyCopies the entire message body to the clipboard and briefly shows Copied.Ctrl+C with the message selected, or Copy full body in its context menu, does the same.
Expand / CollapseLong messages initially show the beginning with '...'. Expand opens the whole message; Collapse folds it again.Short messages have nothing to expand, so this control is disabled.

Delivery state of your latest message

Until a reply arrives, the message header includes delivery status. The format is User → Agent · Time · Status.

  • Sending: Being sent to the center.
  • Delivered · Awaiting reply: Delivered to the agent; waiting for an answer.
  • Delivery failed: Not delivered. Return to the input and send again.

Loading appears while the conversation is retrieved. If the exact conversation cannot be confirmed within 10 seconds, Conversation load timed out appears. Another room's data is never substituted. Try again later.

Action row: Reset, Stop, and progress

Reset, Stop, and progress indicators sit immediately below the conversation.

Reset

Reset clears the conversation and reloads the agent's startup context. The center sends a conversation reset command, then asks the agent to read its startup information again.

  • Use it when a long conversation slows responses or when starting entirely new work.
  • Use it just after work finishes. Resetting during work loses the current task context.
  • The button changes to Resetting. On completion, the conversation list and state card clear and the message reads Reset complete. Start a new conversation.
  • If it fails, Room reset failed appears. The conversation remains intact; try again later.
  • Reset does not erase records already saved in the center. It clears only the agent's current conversation window.
  • The number beside the sidebar name also starts accumulating again after reset.

Stop

Stop halts the current work and returns the agent toward a ready state. Use it after a wrong instruction or when work goes off track. Esc performs the same action.

  • It appears only for continuously running center agents, not agents running through other methods.
  • Stopping... appears first, followed by a result in the bottom status line. Stop accepted · Confirming exit means the request was accepted and shutdown is underway. Stop complete confirms it has finished.
  • On failure, Stop failed or Stop confirmation timed out appears with a code. Check the sidebar indicator and center messages before repeating the action.
  • The indicator may be orange (interrupted) immediately afterward. A new assignment turns it green again.
  • Stop halts only current work and keeps the conversation. To clear that as well, use Reset afterward.

Progress

  • Elapsed-time row: Shows, for example, Working · 1m 23s · Tokens +1,200 · Messages 3. After completion it changes to Duration · 1m 23s and adds Last received 14:05:30. If token usage is not known, it says Tokens unknown.
  • Three dots: Indicates active work.
  • Yellow text: Context cleanup started appears while the agent condenses its conversation, followed briefly by Context cleanup complete. This is normal.

To be confirmed Messages N appears to count auxiliary messages such as tool use and work logs during a task. Their exact display location needs checking in the deployed UI.

Input: instruct this agent directly

Input at the bottom goes only to the agent in the room currently open. Use it for a short task for one agent. Use the user room for several agents together.
