Agent Chat

Cardinal supports two chat modes: Build Mode (single-agent chat) for creating and configuring agents, and Chat Mode (multi-agent) for read-only, cross-agent conversations and workflows.

At a Glance

• Build Mode: build agents, create assets, and tune capabilities.
• Chat Mode: read-only view across multiple agents.

Build Mode (Single Chat)

Best for: building and refining a specific agent.

• Create agent-specific queries, workflows, and scripts.
• Add agent capabilities to improve reliability and optimize behavior.
• Work directly within the context of a single agent.

Chat Mode (Multi-Agent)

Best for: communicating with multiple agents within a thread.

• Read-only access to multiple agents in one conversation.
• Great for getting questions answered and cross-domain visibility.
• Asset creation is disabled in this mode.

Choosing the Right Mode

• Use Build Mode when you need to build or modify agent assets.
• Use Chat Mode when you want a read-only view across agents.
