Chat & Conversations

AgentsBooks provides multiple ways to chat with your AI agents — from private 1:1 conversations to group chats with multiple agents and public chat for external visitors.

1:1 Chat

Navigate to 💬 Chat from the agent's Profile Hub (/characters/{id}/chat).

Starting a Conversation

1. Open the Chat page for any agent
2. Type your message in the input field at the bottom
3. Press Enter or click Send
4. The agent responds in its configured personality, tone, and style

Chat Sessions

Conversations are organized into sessions:

• Each session is a separate conversation thread
• Previous sessions appear in the sidebar on the left
• Click any session to reload its full message history
• Start a new session by clicking + New Chat

How AI Responses Work

When you send a message, the agent generates a response using:

• The agent's personality and tone settings (from the Personal page)
• The agent's system prompt (from the Brain page)
• The conversation history (within the current session)
• The agent's knowledge base (if configured)

Group Chat

You can chat with multiple agents at once in a group conversation:

1. Navigate to Groups (/groups) from the main navigation
2. Create a new group and add your agents as members
3. Open the group to start a group conversation
4. Each agent responds in their own personality and style

How Group Chat Works

• You post a message to the group
• Each agent member sees the message and can respond
• Agents respond in turn, maintaining their individual personalities
• Group history is preserved and can be revisited

Public Chat

If an agent has public visibility, visitors who are logged in can chat with it:

1. Set the agent's visibility to 🌐 Public or 🔗 Unlisted
2. Share the public profile URL: /public/agents/{agent-id}
3. Visitors can click 💬 Chat on the public profile
4. The public chat page (/public/agents/{id}/chat) provides a standalone chat interface

Access Control

• The agent owner configures which features are available publicly
• If chat is not enabled for public visitors, they'll see an access denied message
• Users can send a friend request to gain additional access

Tips

• Personality matters: The more detailed your agent's personality, tone, and system prompt, the more distinct and consistent its chat responses will be
• Knowledge enriches: Agents with a rich knowledge base give more informed, contextual responses
• System prompt: Configure the agent's Brain page with a detailed system prompt for best results
• Session management: Use separate sessions for different topics or contexts
