Catalyst workspace

The Catalyst page is where you build automations by prompting the Catalyst agent. The page is accessed from the team sidebar and has two views: Chat, where you work with Catalyst, and a Reviews view for approving drafted changes (for teams that require approval before publishing).

​

Chat

Chat with Catalyst to build automations from natural language descriptions. Above the chat composer are a number of ways to get started quickly, including Quickstart, Browse prompts, Workflow types, and Install workflows.

​

Team vs private chats

Every Catalyst chat has a visibility setting:

• Team chat: Anyone on the team with Catalyst access
• Private chat: Only you

Choose visibility when starting a new chat from the picker on the composer. For an existing session, use the visibility picker in the chat header to switch between team and private.

​

Fast vs thinking mode

Catalyst offers Fast and Thinking modes that trade off between speed and depth of reasoning:

• Fast: Best for quick edits, small changes, or straightforward questions
• Thinking: Best for complex implementations and multi-step builds

Select the mode from the dropdown in the chat composer. The choice applies to the current chat and is remembered per chat. Managers can set a default chat mode under Settings → Catalyst. New sessions start with that default and individual users can still change mode in the composer.

​

Read responses while Catalyst works

Scroll up in the conversation to pause automatic scrolling. New output continues to arrive without moving the text you’re reading. Scroll back to the bottom or select Jump to bottom to follow new output again. Sending a message also returns you to the latest output. You can also scroll up inside an expanded Thinking panel to pause scrolling there. The panel stays open when thinking finishes so you can keep reading.

​

Interactive cards in chat

Catalyst sometimes renders interactive UI in the message thread instead of plain text.

​

Configure integrations

When a workflow needs an app that’s not connected, Catalyst shows cards with Connect, Configure, or Reconfigure actions. Complete setup using the card instead of pasting credentials in chat. See Connecting external apps.

​

Questions

Catalyst may ask clarifying questions with selectable options (single or multi-select). When you pick an option and submit, Catalyst will note your answer and resume working.

​

Temporary workflows

Catalyst may create a temporary workflow to probe an API, fetch data, or validate an integration in the process of completing a task. When Catalyst proposes a temporary workflow, a card appears in chat showing:

• The workflow name and a link to open it in the resource panel
• Run and Reject actions (unless the workflow is read-only, in which case it may run automatically)

​

@Mention resources

You can mention existing resources (such as workflows and Help Desk skills) when chatting with Catalyst. Type ”@” to see a list of existing resources, and keep typing to specify.

​

File attachments

Attach files to Catalyst messages to share screenshots, data, or other context.

• Click the plus in the composer to pick files
• Drag files onto the chat area (a “Drop files to attach” overlay appears)
• Paste files from your clipboard when supported by your browser

​

Limits and supported types

• Maximum file size: 50 MB per file (under 25 MB recommended)
• Maximum attachments: 10 per message
• Supported file types:
  • Images: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP
  • Documents: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, Visio (.vsd)
  • Text: CSV, TXT, Markdown, JSON

​

Resource panel

When Catalyst creates or opens a resource such as a workflow or skill, a tab appears in the resource panel on the right side of the chat. Edits made via chat or directly in the panel are not live until you publish or complete a review. Ticket labels also use this draft-and-publish flow. Click a label in the session resource list to open its resource tab and review its settings before publishing.
