title: "Using the AI Agent Workspace"
|
|
description: "Learn how to start an isolated AI draft, chat with an agent, review resume patches, and continue existing agent threads."
|
|

|
|
|
|
The AI Agent workspace is a dedicated place to work with an AI assistant on a resume draft. It keeps the conversation, tool activity, and read-only resume preview in one full-screen view.
|
|
|
|
<Info>
|
|
Agent threads edit an AI draft copy of your resume. Your original resume is not changed when you start from an existing resume.
|
|
</Info>
|
|
|
|
## Before you start
|
|
|
|
You need at least one AI provider that is tested and enabled in **Dashboard -> Settings -> Integrations**. For setup, see [Using Artificial Intelligence](/guides/using-ai).
|
|
|
|
If you self-host Reactive Resume, the agent workspace also requires the server-side agent configuration described in [Self-hosting with Docker](/self-hosting/docker).
|
|
|
|
## Open the agent workspace
|
|
|
|
From the dashboard sidebar, click **Agents**.
|
|
|
|
The agent page always shows your thread sidebar. Use it to continue an existing thread, or click **New thread** to start another one.
|
|
|
|
You can also open the agent from the builder dock. When you do this, the current resume is preselected in the new thread setup screen.
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
Press `Cmd/Ctrl+K` from anywhere in the app to open the command palette. Select **Threads** to search existing threads by title, resume, or provider, or run **New Thread** to jump straight to the setup screen.
|
|
</Tip>
|
|
|
|
## Start a new thread
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Choose an agent model">
|
|
Pick the provider/model combo the agent should use. This choice is locked once the thread starts.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Choose a resume draft">
|
|
Select an existing resume to duplicate as an AI draft, or choose **Create from scratch** for a blank draft.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Start the thread">
|
|
Click **Start Thread** to create the draft and open the workspace.

|
## Use the three-pane workspace
|
|
|
|
The desktop workspace is split into three panes:
|
|
|
|
- **Threads** on the left: continue, archive, delete, or start agent threads.
|
|
- **Chat** in the center: send prompts, upload files, answer agent questions, and review tool activity.
|
|
- **Resume** on the right: read the current AI draft, adjust zoom, open it in the builder, or download a PDF.
|
|
|
|
<Frame caption="AI Agent workspace with chat and resume preview">

|

|
src="/images/guides/using-ai-agent/screenshot-2.webp"
|
|
alt="AI Agent workspace showing thread sidebar, chat, and resume preview"
|
|
/>
|
|
</Frame>
|
|
|
|
On smaller screens, the workspace uses tabs/sheets so you can switch between threads, chat, and preview without losing the active conversation.
|
|
|
|
## Ask for resume changes
|
|
|
|
The agent works best with concrete instructions:
|
|
|
|
- "Tailor this resume to this job description: `https://example.com/job`"
|
|
- "Find weak bullets and rewrite them with stronger outcomes."
|
|
- "Compare this draft against a product manager role and update the keywords."
|
|
- "Ask me before changing anything that looks uncertain."
|
|
|
|
You can attach files or images from the composer. The agent can read uploaded attachments when they are relevant to your request.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
Text input is supported. Voice input is not supported in the agent workspace yet.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Review patches
|
|
|
|
When the agent edits the resume, the patch is applied immediately to the AI draft. The chat shows a small **Patch applied** line.
|
|
|
|
Open the line to inspect the raw JSON Patch and use **Restore** if you want to roll the draft back to the state before that patch. Restoring an older patch also rolls back patches applied after it.
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
AI-generated changes can still be inaccurate. Review the draft in the preview or builder before exporting or sharing it.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
## Answer agent questions
|
|
|
|
If the agent needs a decision, it may show a question card with recommended answers. Click the answer you want to send it back to the agent.
|
|
|
|
This is useful when the agent finds ambiguous instructions, missing job context, or a change that depends on your preference.
|
|
|
|
## Use the resume preview
|
|
|
|
The resume pane is read-only. Use the toolbar to:
|
|
|
|
- decrease or increase zoom;
|
|
- set an exact zoom percentage;
|
|
- open the AI draft in the builder;
|
|
- download the draft as a PDF.
|
|
|
|
Zoom settings are remembered across refreshes.
|
|
|
|
## Manage threads
|
|
|
|
Threads are ordered by the newest message. Use the thread menu to archive or delete a thread.
|
|
|
|
- **Archive** keeps the conversation but makes the thread read-only.
|
|
- **Delete** removes the thread conversation and its attachments. The generated resume draft remains in your dashboard.
|
|
|
|
Threads can also become read-only if the working resume is deleted, the selected provider is deleted, or the thread is archived. If a provider is disabled or no longer tested, re-enable and test it before sending new messages.
