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. Meta Agent Panel

Best Practices

  1. Keep queries focused - The panel works best for single-purpose requests
  2. Expand for complexity - Move to the workspace for multi-step operations
  3. Use keyboard shortcuts - Cmd+J is faster than clicking
  4. Check the model - Ensure you’re using the right model for your task
  5. Review before executing - Use Plan mode for sensitive operations
