Use the AI Agent panel
Open Poppy, pick an agent, send prompts, follow tool results, and manage conversation history.
Open the assistant, choose an agent, send a prompt, and act on the tool result cards that appear in the thread.
What you'll do
- Open Poppy from the header or mobile FAB
- Optionally switch agent and review page context
- Send a prompt (or click a suggestion)
- Confirm tool results (for example create link)
- Save history / start a new chat

Before you start
- AI feature unlocked and credits available
- Know the outcome you want (create a link, search deals, draft copy, …)
- Be on a relevant dashboard route so page context is accurate
Steps
1. Open the panel
- On desktop, click the bot icon in the dashboard header.
- On mobile, tap the floating bot button (bottom-right, above the tab bar safe area).
- Confirm the panel header shows Poppy (or another preferred agent) and a context chip for the current page when available.

2. Pick an agent and a starting prompt
- Open the agent select if you need Research, Writer, Editor, Brief, Review, or Inbox instead of Poppy.
- On an empty thread, use a Try suggestion, for example:
- Create a link
- Search deals
- My affiliate tags
- My links
- View analytics
- Or type your own request in the composer (Ask Poppy anything…).
Suggested prompts for Inbox differ and may follow the current mailbox query param.

3. Send and follow tool activity
- Press Enter to send (Shift+Enter for a new line), or click Send.
- While streaming, use Stop to abort the chat response.
- Watch the activity dock above the composer for plan / tool steps.
- When a tool finishes, use the result card actions (create link from a deal, pause a link, add to bio, open a campaign, …).
- If a bio bulk workflow is detected, progress appears above the composer — resume or Dismiss when complete/failed.

4. Manage history
- Click History to browse past conversations for the team.
- Select a thread to reload it, or delete ones you no longer need.
- Click + (New chat) to clear context and start fresh.
- Close the panel with X when finished — conversations remain in history.

Example prompts that map well to tools
| You say | Typical outcome |
|---|---|
| “Create a link for <product URL>” | Create link flow / result card |
| “Search deals for headphones under $50” | Deal list with create-link actions |
| “Show my affiliate tags” | Tag list |
| “Add this link to my bio” | Bio page/section pickers |
| “List my Telegram channels” | Telegram channel cards |
| “Summarize this inbox thread” | Inbox agent draft / summary |
Tips
- Keep one task per message when you want a single clean tool card.
- If the agent asks for an affiliate tag, pick one that matches the product marketplace.
- Writer / Editor agents pair well with AI Content when you need longer-form generation outside the panel.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Send disabled | Empty input or stream in progress | Wait or Stop; type a non-empty prompt |
| Generic text, no cards | Soft Q&A vs tool path | Rephrase with an action verb (“create”, “list”, “search”) |
| Create link failed | Quota or tag mismatch | Free link capacity; attach matching tag |
| Wrong agent answers | Agent left on Writer/Inbox | Switch back to Poppy |
| Credits banner blocks work | AI allowance empty | Billing → AI credit packs |
