Dialog lets you run up to 10 independent agents, each with its own workspace, tools, and personality. This guide covers the day-to-day of managing your agent lineup.

​
Switching between agents

Select any agent from the agent selector in the sidebar. When you switch, you’ll see that agent’s session history, scheduled tasks, and workspace — everything is scoped to the active agent. Each agent operates independently, so switching is more like changing desks than changing tabs.

​
Customizing agent behavior

You can shape how an agent thinks and responds by editing its configuration:
  • System prompt — Edit the agent’s custom instructions in Settings to change its behavior, tone, and output style
  • SOUL.md — Define the agent’s personality traits and communication style
  • PURPOSE.md — Set the agent’s mission and focus area
These files live in the agent’s persistent workspace environment and take effect on the next session.

​
Configuring per-agent tools

Each agent can have different data sources and tools enabled. Configure which tools are available in the agent’s settings. This is useful when you have agents dedicated to different workflows. A competitive research agent might need different data sources than a content strategy agent.
Create specialized agents for distinct research areas rather than trying to do everything with one agent. A focused agent with tailored tools and instructions will produce better results.

​
Agent isolation

Agents don’t share data with each other. Each agent has its own:
  • Persistent workspace environment with separate files and skills
  • Session history and conversation memory
  • Scheduled tasks and delivery settings
  • Tool configurations and data source access
This isolation means you can experiment with one agent without affecting others.

​
Deleting an agent

To remove an agent, open its settings and choose Delete Agent. This permanently removes the agent along with its workspace, sessions, and scheduled tasks.
You cannot delete the default agent. If you need to reset it, edit its system prompt and clear its sessions instead.
