The Meta Agent Panel provides instant access to the Meta Agent from any page in the Kubiya interface. It’s a floating overlay that lets you ask questions, execute tasks, and explore your infrastructure without navigating away from your current context.

Keyboard Shortcut (Recommended)
Press Cmd+J (Mac) or Ctrl+J (Windows/Linux) from any page.
Click the purple pulsing button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. The FAB is always visible on every page.
