What is a Co-worker?
A co-worker in Noxus is a visual AI assistant built by connecting capabilities into a conversational interface. Co-workers enable:- Natural Language Processing: Process requests naturally, maintain context, and adapt to user needs
- Tool Integration: Access web research, human-in-the-loop, knowledge bases, flow execution, and file handling capabilities.
- Context Awareness: Remember conversation history and maintain context across interactions
- Smart Decision Making: Make intelligent choices based on context and available tools
Configuration Options
Co-workers provide extensive configuration options to customize their behavior, performance, and capabilities according to your specific needs.Model Settings
AI Engine Control: Configure how your co-worker thinks and responds
Conversation Control
Resource Management: Manage usage limits and conversation flow
Tool Access
Capability Definition: Define available tools and integrations
Model Settings
Configure how your co-worker thinks and responds using our AI model settings to achieve the perfect balance of creativity, accuracy, and performance. Core Configuration Options:- Model Selection: Choose from various providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and others.
- Temperature: Control response creativity (0.0 for focused, 1.0 for creative)
- Max Tokens: Set response length limits
- Response Style: Configure tone and formatting preferences
- Instructions: Define system guidance and allowed behaviors to steer responses and restrict access
Each provider offers unique capabilities and specializations. Learn more about
available models in our Models & Providers guide.
Conversation Control
Manage how your co-worker handles conversations and resources to optimize performance while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Resource and Flow Control:- Token Management: Define usage budgets and per-conversation limits
- Rate Limiting: Set maximum request frequency to control throughput
- Agent Timeout: Define maximum execution time per request to prevent long-running operations
- Generation Control: Set safeguards like max output length, stop sequences, and sensitivity levels
- Error Recovery: Configure retry and fallback behaviors
Tool Access
Co-workers can access various tools to enhance their capabilities, with each tool configurable for specific roles and requirements. Enhanced Functionality:- Web Research: Search and analyze online information
- Knowledge Bases: Query your organization’s knowledge repositories
- Flow Execution: Run automated processes and workflows
- File Operations: Handle document processing and management
- API Integration: Connect with external services
- Human Handoff: Escalate to human operators when needed
Tools can be enabled or disabled based on your co-worker’s specific role and
requirements. Each tool can be configured with its own permissions and usage
limits.
Reasoning Capabilities
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Off | Direct responses without additional analysis |
| Low | Basic reasoning for simple decision-making |
| Medium | Detailed analysis considering multiple factors |
| High | Comprehensive reasoning with thorough evaluation |
Reasoning capabilities are available only with select AI models that support
advanced reasoning features. Co-workers using these models can adjust their
reasoning depth based on task complexity, allowing you to balance performance
with computational requirements for optimal results.
Running Co-workers
Each co-worker operates in its own secure environment, maintaining conversation context and managing its own resources for optimal performance and security. Choose how to deploy and interact with your co-workers based on your specific integration needs:- 🖥️ Platform Interface
- 🔌 API Integration
- ⚡ SDK Implementation
The platform interface provides the most intuitive way to interact with your co-workers:
- Real-time conversations with monitoring capabilities
- Dynamic settings and configuration adjustments with live testing
- Comprehensive analytics and conversation history
- Direct management of knowledge base connections
- Tool permissions and capability control
Ideal for testing, training, and day-to-day co-worker management with full visibility into performance metrics.
