AI Assistant Guide
1. Overview
AI Assistant is FiraClaw's core interaction interface. Here, you can directly dialogue with the system-built CEO Agent. CEO Agent is both your personal assistant (executing specific tasks) and the scheduler of the intelligent agent team (decomposing complex tasks and distributing them to other professional agents).
What can you do here?
- Ask questions, writing, translation, summary and other regular AI dialogues.
- Issue instructions to operate the computer (such as organizing files, sending emails).
- Create background tasks so AI continues working after you leave the computer.
- Hire or train new agents to handle work in specific domains.

3. Basic Operation Guide
3.1 Starting Your First Dialogue
- Confirm the top agent switch bar shows CEO Agent.
- Enter your question or instruction in the bottom input box.
- Example: "Help me write an apology email about the project delay."
- Click the send button or press Enter on the keyboard to send.
3.2 Multi-Session Management (Important)
To avoid information interference between different tasks or prevent large models from generating "hallucinations" in long dialogues, it is recommended to create independent sessions for completely unrelated tasks.
- New Session: Click the + icon at the top of the session list.
- Switch Session: Click any historical session name in the left session list.
- Rename Session: Right-click the session name and select "Rename" (it is recommended to name by task theme for easy searching).
3.3 Using Toolbar for Quick Configuration
You don't need to manually enter complex instructions every time. The toolbar can help you quickly attach capabilities to the current dialogue.
- Click the toolbar icon above the input box (usually in the upper left corner of the input box).
- Select Agent: Temporarily switch the current dialogue's response role (for example, let the agent specializing in coding answer).
- Select Skill: Attach a Skill to the current dialogue (such as PDF processing skill).
- Select MCP: Attach an external service connection (such as reading browser bookmarks).
3.4 Input Box Shortcut Tips
- Quick Summon Frequently Used Content: Enter
/key in the input box to pop up the quick selection menu containing skills, MCP, and agents. - Multi-line Input: Press Shift + Enter for new line, press Enter directly to send.
4. Advanced Feature: CEO Agent's Scheduling Capability
The biggest feature that distinguishes CEO Agent from ordinary AI assistants is background task creation and scheduling.
4.1 Directly Calling Other Agents in Dialogue
You don't need to manually switch sessions. Just give orders to CEO in the dialogue box:
- Instruction Example: "Help me let CodeMaster write a Python script to crawl the titles of this webpage, then return the results to me."
CEO will automatically analyze the task, find the agent named CodeMaster, distribute it for execution, and present the final result in the dialogue box.
4.2 Generate Background Tasks
If you want AI to continue working after you close the dialogue window, please ask CEO to create a task.
- Instruction Example: "Please create a background task to let the News Analyst agent organize the previous night's AI industry news every morning at 8, and after organizing into a report, send it to my Feishu channel."
After creation:
- You can see the task card in the AI Tasks module in the left menu.
- As long as the FiraClaw program keeps running, the task will execute automatically on time.
5. Common Questions and Notes
Q1: Why is it recommended to open several sessions instead of talking about everything in one long conversation?
A: Large models tend to "lose focus" or confuse early settings when processing very long contexts. Keeping coding sessions separate from casual chat sessions allows CEO to focus more on the current task context and produce higher quality output.
Q2: I asked CEO to create a task, but my computer went to sleep. Will the task still execute?
A: No. AI task execution depends on the FiraClaw client running continuously. Please keep your computer powered on and not in sleep mode, or keep the software running in the foreground/background.
Q3: How does CEO know which agent to hire?
A: CEO will read the names and descriptions of all created agents in your system. Therefore, it's recommended to write clear descriptions when creating professional agents (e.g., "Specialized in writing Python scripts, good at web crawlers and data processing").
Q4: During the dialogue, AI showed "Calling tool Oculos MCP". What is this?
A: This means CEO is operating your desktop software through the system's built-in MCP service (e.g., opening folders, clicking mouse). This is a normal automatic process. Please do not interfere with mouse operations at this time.
