Models, tools, and computers.

Manage model providers

Open the sidebar menu and select Models. The Providers list shows every available connection and whether it is connected.

Depending on the provider, connect with account sign-in, an API key, or an OpenAI-compatible server URL and model ID. Follow the setup help shown in the connection form. Never paste a provider key into an ordinary agent conversation.

After connecting, choose the workspace default model. To override it for one agent, open that agent's Settings, expand Advanced, and select a Model. If supported, choose a Thinking level as well.

Choose models by responsibility

Use the workspace default for most agents. Add an override when a role has a clear reason for a different model—for example, code generation, long-context research, or lower-cost routine work. Test a representative assignment after every model change.

Choose a computer mode

An agent computer provides a browser, terminal, desktop, and files. When creating or editing an agent, choose:

• Team computer: agents can work in the shared team environment and use common files or sessions.
• Dedicated computer: the agent receives its own environment for stronger separation.

Use a dedicated computer when credentials, customer data, or project files should remain isolated from the rest of the team.

Watch the agent's computer

Select the computer icon in the conversation header or open the right-side Computer panel. The preview shows the current screen and whether the computer is running.

Use Open computer for a larger view. Choose Take control when you need to complete a login, inspect the state, or perform a manual step. If takeover is unavailable, stop the agent first. Return control when finished so the agent can continue.

Attach and create files

Use the paperclip in the composer to attach source material. Tell the agent which files are authoritative and what it should produce. Generated files remain associated with the work and can be opened from the conversation or computer.

For reliable results, specify the requested file type, naming convention, and whether existing files may be changed.

Use skills and integrations

Skills provide reusable instructions or capabilities. Type / in the composer to open available skills and actions, then select the one the assignment requires.

Open Integrations in the sidebar to browse, install, connect, or manage available plugins and services. A connection may ask you to authorize an account, provide scoped credentials, or approve an agent-created MCP server. Read the requested access before connecting it. Dismissed connections can be reopened from Integrations later.

Grant only the access needed for the role. Test with a small task before using an integration for important work.

Teach a repeatable computer task

The Computer panel can record a workflow you demonstrate and turn it into a taught skill. Start teaching, perform the task in the computer, then stop and review the captured steps. Give the skill a clear name and test it before reuse.

A taught skill can be selected in future assignments or converted into a routine. Record stable workflows with obvious checkpoints; avoid capturing passwords or one-time secrets in the steps.

Stop or recover work

Select Stop when an agent is taking the wrong action or no longer needs to continue. Explain the correction in a new message before restarting. If a computer is stuck, stop the agent, inspect the computer, and retry with a smaller, verifiable step.
