Once your project is created, you’ll find a dedicated Agents & Automations pane in your workspace:
  • Location: Opens under the preview area in your workspace
  • Functions:
    • View and interact with your agent
    • Test chatbot functionality before deployment
    • Visualize automation workflows
    • Monitor logs and debug issues
  • Testing: Chat with your agent directly in the pane to test responses and behavior

​
Deployment Requirement

Deployment Required: Your agent or automation must be deployed to function with external triggers like Slack, Telegram, or scheduled automations. The testing pane works for development and testing, but live triggers require deployment.
Agent will automatically prompt you to deploy your project when it’s ready. Choose the appropriate deployment type:
  • Autoscale deployments - For chatbots and event-driven workflows
  • Scheduled deployments - For time-based automations
