Mentions allow you to reference specific entities from your application — tables, features, fields — directly inside an agent conversation. This gives the agent precise context and produces more accurate results.
How to use mentions
Type @ in the agent chat to open the mention picker. You can search for:
- Tables — reference a data model table to give the agent context about its fields and relationships
- Features — reference an existing feature to ask the agent to modify or extend it
- Fields — reference a specific field when asking about data or configurations
Examples
- “Show me the customers from @Customers where the @Status field is Active”
- “Update @EmployeeForm to add a field for the department”
- “What fields does @Orders have?”
Why use mentions
Without mentions, the agent uses its general knowledge of your data model. With mentions, you give it a precise reference point, which:
- Reduces ambiguity in prompts
- Produces more accurate feature configurations
- Speeds up the agent’s response since it doesn’t need to search for context
Combine mentions with descriptive prompts for the best results. For example: “Add a filter to @OrdersList that lets users filter by @Orders.Status”.
