Agent Platform

Home

Your starting point in Alloy: ask the agent, see what your team did, and pick up where you left off

Use this page to start a question from Home and get back to recent work in one click.

The Home page is where you land when you open Alloy. It's built around the agent, the AI agent that works on your mission data.

The agent

The agent takes the busy work of an investigation off your engineers: finding the right run, finding the moment, lining up runs, and writing it up. It works across your organisation's missions, reports and scenarios, and can act in the platform for you. Describe what you want in plain language and it can:

  • Query and analyse data: search across missions, run SQL and Python on your data, and compute statistics
  • Build visualisations: create interactive time-series plots, bar charts, scatter plots, trajectories, and maps
  • Reason across data types: combine logs, images, time series, and metadata to answer questions that span several sensors and missions
  • Create scenarios and reports: define patterns to check for, write reports, and schedule recurring reports
  • Summarise and explain: say what happened in a mission, point out anomalies, and break down performance metrics

You can be as broad or as specific as you like. Ask a high-level question like "How did last week's missions compare to the week before?" and the agent works out what to query. Or get precise, like "Show me every time motor temperature exceeded 80°C while heading was between 90° and 180°", and it builds that exact analysis. For bigger questions, the agent works through your missions in parallel and brings the findings back as one answer.

The chat is available from the Home page and from the right edge of every other page except Mesh Storage. It knows what page you're on and what data you're viewing.

What you'll see

Chat box: front and centre. Type a question to start a new chat with the agent.

Recent chats: your recent conversations are listed under Home in the sidebar, so you can pick up where you left off. Click one to reopen it with the full history.

Recent activity: mission uploads, reports, comments, and scenario activity from your organisation. Uploads link directly to their mission and show the uploader's first name and profile photo when available. Activity from people and scenario activity come first, newest first, followed by uploads with no named uploader. Reports written automatically appear last. Expand the feed to see up to 20 entries (in the new design, scroll the list).

Memory

The agent remembers things across chats. This is how what one engineer knows reaches the next person who asks:

  • Format preferences: "Always include a chart when you talk about trends"
  • Test set-up: "Missions from Sep 20–30 used a temporary LiDAR mount on the front leg"
  • Frequently referenced context: "Our standard survey route covers waypoints A through F"

Tell the agent to "remember that..." and it saves the context. Memories can be scoped to just you or shared across your organisation.
