January 11, 2025 Features chat AI tools
The AI Chat in Blast Office is more than a simple chatbot — it’s a powerful assistant with access to tools, research capabilities, and the ability to delegate complex tasks.
Starting a Chat
- Click New Chat from the sidebar
- Type your message in the input field
- Press Enter or click Send
Built-in Tools
The AI has access to several built-in tools that it can use automatically:
Web Search
The AI can search the web to find current information, research topics, and verify facts. Simply ask a question and the AI will search when needed.
Reasoning
For complex problems, the AI can use structured reasoning to break down the problem, consider multiple angles, and arrive at well-thought-out conclusions.
Lua Scripting
The AI can write and execute Lua scripts to perform calculations, data transformations, and other programmatic tasks. Scripts run in a secure sandbox with memory limits.
Intent-Driven Interactions
Blast Office uses intent-driven interactions — describe what you want to accomplish, and the AI determines the best approach. You don’t need to specify which tools to use; the AI selects them automatically.
For example:
- “What’s the latest news about renewable energy?” — triggers web search
- “Calculate the compound interest on $10,000 at 5% for 10 years” — triggers Lua scripting
- “Analyze the pros and cons of remote work” — triggers structured reasoning
Agent Delegation
For complex, multi-step tasks, the AI can delegate work to specialized agents. This allows it to coordinate research, process files, and manage workflows that would be too complex for a single interaction.
