Assign a Task

Use the chat box at the bottom of the Chat panel on the right side of the project work area to tell Foxit Workspace what you want to accomplish. A task can be a question, an instruction to analyze or organize materials, or a request to create or revise an output.

  1. Open the project you want to work on. 

  2. Enter a request in the chat box. While composing your request, type “/” to find or call a skill, and “@” to reference a specific file. Alternatively, you can also click the Add icon and choose the following options to include information or enable certain features in your task:

  • Add from files: Add new source files to your current project, and reference them in the chat box. 

  • Add from projects: Reference source files from your project in the chat box. 

  • Web: Enable or disable web search during task execution. 

  • Connectors: Connect to third-party services to enable seamless workflow. For more information, please refer to “Use Connectors”.

  • Skills: Select a skill to execute your task. For more information, please refer to “Use Skills”.

  1. (Optional) Click to select the type of output file and corresponding settings (template, image quality, etc.). If you do not specify it, Foxit Workspace will automatically choose what works best for your request. For more information, please refer to “Create an Artifact”.

  2.  (Optional) Click the <Name of AI Model> to select an AI model. 

  3. Click the “Require approval” icon to set approvals for agent actions. Choose Require approval if you want Foxit Workspace to ask for your approval before performing risky actions or making changes. Choose Auto-approve to allow actions without a confirmation prompt. (Tip: Auto-approval remains subject to tool restrictions and policies. Actions involving restricted or unavailable tools will not be executed automatically.)

  4. Click the Send message icon to send your request. 

  5. Foxit Workspace will start thinking, analyzing, and generating responses. For the generated responses, you can click the Copy response icon located beneath the response to copy it for reuse. If the response includes an output file, Foxit Workspace will list it in the Chat panel and also add it to the Artifacts list. You can directly click the output file in the Chat panel or navigate to the Artifacts tab in the left-hand side panel to open and view the output file.  For more information about artifacts, please refer to “Manage Project Artifacts”.
