Chat Skills

What it is

Chat Skills are curated capabilities that your platform operator makes available to users in the Ask Anything chat interface. A Skill is a tool the assistant can use when a user asks it to — for example, a Skill might let users "generate a report from this data" or "create bulk tasks from a list". Instead of relying on the assistant to figure out what it can do, Operators explicitly define which Skills are available in each space, so users can confidently ask for things they know are supported.

When to use it

Add a Chat Skill when:

  • You want to enable a specific capability or action inside a chat
  • You want to ensure the assistant knows what tools it can safely use
  • You want to prevent the assistant from attempting unsupported workflows
  • You want to guide users toward your preferred patterns

Where to find it

Only platform operators can manage Chat Skills. In the Tenet admin space:

  1. Look for the AI section in the left sidebar.
  2. Click Skills.
  3. You'll see a table of all curated skills. Each row shows the skill name, what space types can use it, and when it was last updated.

How it works

Creating a new skill:

  1. Click the Create button above the table.
  2. Enter a name for the skill (e.g. "Generate Report").
  3. Write a description explaining what the skill does and when users should reach for it.
  4. Define the skill's behavior — the specific action or tool it provides.
  5. Choose which space type(s) can access this skill.
  6. Click Save. The skill is available immediately.

Editing a skill:

  1. Find the skill in the table and click its row.
  2. Change the name, description, or space assignments.
  3. Click Update. Users will see the updated skill next time they use Ask Anything.

Deleting a skill:

  1. Find the skill in the table.
  2. Click the three-dot menu at the end of the row and choose Delete.
  3. Confirm. The skill is no longer available to users.

Bulk actions:

You can export all your skills and re-import them later — useful for backups or sharing.

How users experience them:

Skills appear to users in the chat context — when a user types a message, the assistant considers which Skills are available and suggests them if relevant. A user might see inline prompts like "You can generate a report from this data — shall I?" or choose a Skill from a menu when composing a message.
