(Updated) Agents and Skills in CIQ

Updated October 5, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. 

[What and Why:]

We are introducing support for inserting Agents and Skills directly into prompts via the Context IQ (CIQ) menu which users can access by selecting "Add content" after opening the Plus (+) menu. Users will be able to access available Agents and Skills from the CIQ Agents and Skills tab after selecting "Add content" or by referencing them by typing / or @ while composing prompts. Users will be able to access available Agents and Skills from the CIQ Agents and Skills tab and quickly reference them by typing / or @ while composing prompts. This improvement helps users discover and use specialized capabilities more efficiently, improving productivity by making context-specific AI assistance easier to access within existing workflows.
