Example prompts
Prompts that work well with the agent, grouped by job, with what comes back for each.
The agent answers from your workspace data and proposes changes as cards. These prompts show the range. Replace the names with your own; the agent matches companies, deals, funds and report sets by name.
Four kinds of reply appear below: a read answer (text, sometimes with a mini-artifact you can open in the app), an action card (you click Apply), an open-in-app card (opens the app’s dialog filled in, for you to review and save) and a guarded card (opens the app’s confirm dialog).

Tips
- You can ask for several things in one message; each change comes back as its own card to apply or dismiss.
- The agent looks things up a few times per message and then answers. If it says it stopped to keep things quick, ask it to continue.
- If the agent says it cannot match a name, open the record in the app and try again with the name as it appears there.
- The suggested prompts under the dock change with the screen you are on; they are a quick way to see what fits the current context.
