# Autopilot and chat

> Use the Console copilot and chat threads alongside AgentRuntime workflows.

AgentRuntime provides two chat surfaces:

* **Console Chat** (`/chat`) — Autopilot copilot with thread list and streaming responses
* **Workspace chat** ([space.agentruntime.io](https://space.agentruntime.io)) — Team channels and agent rooms (separate app)

This page covers Console Autopilot and how it relates to workflows.

## Autopilot modes

Autopilot is the AI assistant built into the Console. It streams responses in the Chat panel and can take actions on your behalf:

| Mode          | Behavior                                                                         |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Ask**       | Answer questions about your workspace, workflows, and integrations               |
| **Autopilot** | Propose and execute actions — scaffold workflows, navigate to Studio, start runs |

Autopilot uses your project context (tenant, project, role) and calls BFF endpoints at `/v1/autopilot/*`.

## What Autopilot can do with workflows

Today Autopilot supports workflow-oriented actions including:

* **create\_workflow** — Start a new workflow from a description
* **scaffold\_starter** — Generate a starter graph template
* **run\_workflow** — Start a run on an existing workflow
* **Navigate** — Open Workflow Studio or Command Center

Ask Autopilot to "create a workflow that emails a summary" or "run the daily report workflow" to use these actions.

## Chat threads

The Chat page lists conversation threads persisted per user and project. Messages stream over `/v1/autopilot/stream` with token-by-token delivery.

Threads are separate from workflow runs, but messages can reference runs, workflows, and pending human tasks as the integration matures.

## Platform agents

**Agents** (sidebar, feature-flagged in some environments) are reusable agent definitions installed in your project. They participate in `dm` and `channel` rooms — distinct from Autopilot.

Platform agents run multi-turn loops with MCP tools and memory, using AgentRuntime's chat runtime rather than the workflow DAG engine.

## Workspace chat (space)

The team workspace at [space.agentruntime.io](https://space.agentruntime.io) provides Slack-shaped channels, Autopilot DM, threads, and workflow system cards. It shares authentication with the Console via `.agentruntime.io` cookies, so signing in to one signs you in to the other.

Use Console Chat for your own copilot tasks; use workspace chat for team coordination and agent room participation.

## Memory (knowledge layer)

AgentRuntime includes a memory layer for long-term knowledge — search, extraction, and episodic memory scoped by tenant and project. Memory tools are available to agents and workflow prepare-step hooks. Console memory UI may be feature-flagged; the APIs are available at `/v1/memory/*` for contributors.

<Note>
  Chat and Autopilot are actively evolving toward ChatGPT-style persistence with deeper workflow and Command Center integration. Workflow execution remains authoritative through Workflow Studio and the `/v1/workflows` API.
