Actions in Chat

Actions in Chat transforms your Langdock experience by bringing all your tools directly into any conversation. Instead of switching between different interfaces, you can access integrations, Assistants, Knowledge Folders, and saved prompts with a simple @ symbol, creating a unified Chat where everything you need is just a mention away.
Actions in Chat works in both regular chats and Assistant conversations, giving you consistent access to your tools regardless of where you’re working.

​
How Actions in Chat Works

1

Trigger the action menu

Type @ in any chat input field to open the actions menu. This works in both regular chats and when conversing with specific Assistants.
The @ symbol acts as your universal access point to all Langdock resources, making it easy to remember and use consistently.
2

Search and select your tool

Start typing to search through your available options, or browse through the first 20 items displayed. The search covers:
  • Integrations: Connect to external services and APIs
  • Assistants: Access specialized AI helpers you’ve created or shared with you
  • Knowledge Folders: Reference specific document collections
  • Saved Prompts: Use templates from your prompt library
Only the first 20 matching results appear initially. Type specific names to narrow down results and find exactly what you need.
3

Confirm your selection

Either press Enter to select the highlighted option or click directly on the tool you want to use. The chat interface will update to show your selection.
4

Verify the connection

Once added, you’ll see the tool’s logo and name displayed in blue within the chat interface, confirming the active connection.
The visual indicator ensures you always know which tools are active in your current conversation.

​
Adding Multiple Tools

  • Using the + Button
  • Using @ Again
After adding your first integration or tool, a + button appears in the chat interface. Click this button to add additional tools to the same conversation.This approach works well when you know you need multiple specific tools for a complex task.

​
Key Differences from Assistant Integrations

Assistant Integrations

Programmatic Control: Integrations are pre-configured with specific actions and workflows defined during Assistant creation.Predictable Behavior: The Assistant knows exactly which actions to call and when, based on your setup.

Actions in Chat

AI-Driven Selection: The model analyzes your request and chooses appropriate actions from available integrations dynamically.Flexible Access: You have the same integration capabilities as Assistants, but with real-time decision making.
Actions in Chat can only access integrations and tools that you could also use when creating an Assistant. The available actions are determined by your permissions and the integrations configured in your workspace.

​
Cross-Context Usage

Actions in Chat works seamlessly across different conversation types:
  • Regular Chats: Access any tool to enhance your standard conversations
  • Assistant Conversations: Add integrations or call other Assistants while chatting with a specific Assistant
  • Mixed Workflows: Combine multiple Assistants, integrations, and knowledge sources in a single conversation
This cross-context functionality is particularly powerful for complex workflows where you might need to consult multiple specialized Assistants or access different data sources within the same conversation thread.

​
Troubleshooting

Confirm integration status: Check that the integration is properly configured and active in your workspace.Review permissions: Ensure the integration has the necessary permissions to perform the requested actions.Check connection: Some integrations may require re-authentication or have temporary connectivity issues.
