Runs
Start a run, follow the agents as they work, and find past runs.
A run is one piece of work handed to a factory. You can start it on the web, by mentioning the factory in Slack, from a Linear issue, or with an automation. Every run shows up under Runs, wherever it started.
Start a run
- Select New run in the sidebar.
- Pick the factory the run works in. A run stays in that factory, and you need at least one factory to send it.
- Describe what you want and press Enter. Shift+Enter adds a new line.
The starting points under the message box (Fix a bug, Build a feature, Add tests and Explain the code) fill in the opening words for you.
Attach files
Attach up to 4 files per message with the + button, by dragging them onto the message box, or by pasting them.
| File type | Size limit |
|---|---|
| GIF, JPEG, PNG or WebP image | 5 MB |
| UTF-8 text file | 256 KB |
Follow a run
The run page updates live as the agents work:
- Working groups the steps of each turn (files read and edited, commands run, searches) under a timer, and becomes Worked for … when the turn ends. Failed and denied steps are marked.
- Thinking rows hold the agent’s reasoning. Expand one to read it.
- The reply appears after the steps.
Send follow-ups from the message box at the bottom of the page. Each prompt shows who sent it, including prompts sent from Slack or Linear.
The run header has these controls:
- Stop run (the square button) stops the agent.
- Run options (⋮) turns Show thinking and Show tool calls on or off. Your browser remembers the choice for every run. It also links to Runs from this factory and Factory settings.
- Open in Slack or Open in Linear appears on runs that started there.
Run statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Running | An agent is working. |
| Complete | The latest turn finished. |
| Failed | The run hit an error. The reason shows in the runs list. |
| Blocked | The run is waiting for an approval, an answer or a sign-in. |
| Cancelled | Someone stopped the run. |
Find a run
Runs lists every run in the workspace, 100 to a page. You can:
- filter by status with the tabs at the top
- search run titles
- filter by Source (where the run started: AINOX Web, Slack, Linear or Automation) and by Factory
- sort by Newest first, Oldest first or Title A–Z
The list refreshes itself while runs are in progress.
Inbox
Inbox lists blocked runs from the whole workspace: runs waiting for an approval, an answer or a sign-in. The count next to Inbox in the sidebar shows how many are waiting.
