What Smith does
Smith is always available in every workspace. You can ask it to:- Answer questions about Guild features, agents, and configuration
- Help you build, debug, and publish agents
- Walk you through setting up integrations and triggers
- Troubleshoot errors in your sessions or agent code
Starting a conversation
When you open a workspace, Smith’s chat interface is the first thing you see. Type a message and press Enter to begin. You can also open Smith at any time from the left sidebar by clicking the Smith icon (the chat bubble at the top of the nav).Switching agents
Smith is the default agent, but it is not the only one. Use @mention to route a message to a different agent without leaving the chat interface. See Agent mentions.Workspace context
Smith has read access to your workspace configuration — installed agents, triggers, integrations, and recent sessions — so it can give context-aware answers without you having to copy-paste configuration details.Safety limits
Smith includes internal protections that stop a single conversation from looping or running up cost:- Turn budget. Smith runs at most 20 LLM turns per user message. When a request hits this limit, Smith stops, saves its progress, and tells you it will not keep retrying automatically.
- Duplicate-response stop. If Smith produces the same final answer twice, it stops instead of repeating the attempt.
- Unsupported integration stop. When you ask Smith to set up credentials for a service it cannot resolve to a supported integration, it stops after one discovery pass, names the unsupported service as the blocker, and does not retry.
