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

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

LevelDescription
OffDirect responses without additional analysis
LowBasic reasoning for simple decision-making
MediumDetailed analysis considering multiple factors
HighComprehensive 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.
