Agent Notifications
AgentOne can notify you when it finishes a response (with a preview of the answer), when it needs your approval to continue, or when it stops because of an error. Click a notification to open that chat.
| Option | You're notified... |
|---|---|
| Always | For every chat, even while you're looking at it |
| When window unfocused | Only when you're in another app |
| Unless viewing the chat | For every chat except the one you have open |
| Never | Never |
The first time, your system may ask whether to allow notifications from AgentOne.
Streaming
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Extract Reasoning from Think Tags | Shows text inside <think> tags as a collapsible Reasoning section. Doesn't apply to past messages or models with built-in reasoning. | Off |
| Throttle | How often a streaming response updates on screen, from 50 to 1000 ms. Higher values use less CPU. | 100 ms |
Titles
Choose how AgentOne names new chats.
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Generation Method | AI generated, First user message, First assistant message, or Custom phrase. | AI generated |
| Max Output Tokens | How many tokens the AI can use to write a title. Set it to No limit if titles fail with thinking models. | 10,240 |
| Fallback Method | What to show while the AI title is being written, and to keep if it fails. | First user message |
| Character Limit | The longest a title can be. | 50 |
| Fallback Phrase | Used when the chosen message has no text. | New chat |
AI titles are written by the same model you're chatting with. You can rename any chat later from its menu.
