HyperTeamsYour first conversation
What you will learn This is a chapter for doing, not reading. Follow the three below exactly.
1. Just talk to it
Entering a workspace drops you into a chat box. Type this:
What to check
- Whether the answer is fitted to your role
- Whether it appears character by character in real time
2. Make it use a tool
Now a request that needs a tool.
Or, if a web tool is enabled:
What to check
Look for the tool call shown above the answer.
That is the answer's basis from the threads chapter. It is the point of difference from a consumer AI service.
If you see no tool, no tools are enabled yet. Covered in turning tools on and off.
3. One real piece of work
Pick whichever is closest to your situation.
If you have documents to organise
The last line matters. Because filling in a blank is the natural continuation, you have to block it explicitly.
If you have an email to write
If you have research to do
If you do not like the result
Keep talking.
| Complaint | Say this |
|---|---|
| Too long | "Cut it in half" |
| Wrong format | "Make it a table" |
| Doesn't fit us | "We're (situation), so that won't work. Again" |
| No basis given | "Give me the source for each item" |
Once you have done this
You have the basics. The next step is reducing repetition.
If you keep making the same kind of request, rather than rewriting the instruction every time, turn it into an agent.
Care when using it with a team
Threads live inside the workspace, so teammates can see them.
The principles from things to watch out for matter more in a team environment.
Check yourself
1. Why should you check that tool calls are displayed?
Answer
Because it shows the answer's basis. Knowing which tool a value came from makes verification possible, and when something is wrong you can see which step was wrong.
2. Why add "do not guess" when asking for a table?
Answer
Because filling in a blank is the natural continuation, so it invents something. You have to block it explicitly.
3. What if you keep making the same kind of request?
Answer
That is a signal to build an agent. Put the instruction inside it and you stop rewriting it every time.
