TokenFlux Agent

Here are the key points, with links to the source…

One streaming message grows with the reply and becomes the final answer. Each top-level channel message that mentions the bot starts its own thread.

Three tasks to try

Good to know

  • Text only. Images and files sent in chat are not read. Use the web app for images and workspace files for file tasks.
  • Your bot or app serves one agent. Every task spends your TokenFlux balance on model tokens.
  • By default, only the person who linked the chat can use the agent. It ignores other people. In groups, it reads messages that mention or reply to it.
  • In Feishu and Slack, a topic started by mentioning the bot in a top-level message follows by default when the platform permits it. Later messages from authorized users can start paid tasks without a mention. Send /follow off to require mentions again. To turn follow back on, send @bot /follow on; a plain /follow on is ignored while follow is off.

Chat commands

In Slack, mention the bot first: @bot /new. Slack handles messages that start with /.

CommandWhat it does
/newStart a new conversation with the next message.
/stopStop this chat’s running task.
/model [ID]List available models or set this conversation’s model.
/helpList all commands.
/members [on|off]In the whole group, the person who linked it sets who can use the agent. Read the warning above.
/follow [on|off]Feishu and Slack topics only. Use /follow off to require mentions. To turn it back on, send @bot /follow on.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

The agent spends your TokenFlux balance on model tokens. Each scheduled run is also a normal agent task.

Can it send scheduled results to this chat?

Yes. Ask the agent in a linked chat to create an automation, or select that chat in the web app. Delivery can fail. The answer stays in the web app.

Can it read images or files sent in chat?

No. Chat apps send text only. Use the web app to send images. The agent can read and write files in its sandbox workspace.
