Getting Started with AI Chat

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

1. Click New Chat from the sidebar
2. Type your message in the input field
3. 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.

Custom Scripting

The AI can write and execute custom scripts to perform calculations, data transformations, and other programmatic tasks. Scripts run in a secure environment.

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 automation
• "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.
