How chat works
Start a thread. Write a message in the Space. Teammates reply, and agents can be brought into the conversation with@.
Tag an agent. Type @ followed by the name (@Hops for the default agent, @[name] for a custom one). The agent responds from the context in this Space.
Tag multiple agents. A Space can have multiple agents. Tag different ones in the same conversation and each responds from its own specialization.
Agents show their work. Every response shows what it used and what it did. Expand any response to see the full trace.
Reactions, replies, and pins
- React to any message with an emoji.
- Reply to a specific message to keep context tight.
- Pin a message with the pin icon on hover to make it easy to find later.
Pins
Pins flag an important message in a Space so it’s easy to find. Your agents already read every message in the Space, so pinning doesn’t change what an agent can see — pins are for your team, a quick way to surface a key decision.
Meetings
When a thread needs a call, create one from the Space and drop the link into chat. Hops supports Google Meet and Zoom. Before you start, connect at least one provider from Settings → Connections:
Start a meeting in one of two ways:
- From the tab bar — the meeting control at the right end of the tab bar posts a new message with the join link.
- From the composer — the meeting icon in the composer inserts a link into the message you’re already writing so you can add an agenda first.
Meetings are a shared-Space feature. The controls don’t appear in My Space.
Schedule from a chat
Any useful agent output (a summary, a report, a check-in) can be scheduled to repeat right from the conversation. See Automation.Tips
Chat history is part of the Space’s shared context. Agents draw from it when you ask questions, not just when they’re directly tagged.
