This guide is for everyone who logs in to SAALT — whether you're here to chat with an Agent someone else built, or to build and configure your own.
Signing in
Open your SAALT instance and sign in with your work account. If you don't have one yet, ask your administrator to invite you — accounts cannot be self-registered on most installations.
After signing in you land on the home dashboard. From here, the left sidebar is your main way to move around the app.
If your sidebar looks slightly different from what this guide describes, your administrator may have hidden some sections via permissions. Anything covered in this guide that you can't see is most likely a permission issue — contact your administrator.
The four things to know
SAALT is organised around four concepts. Once you have a feel for these, the rest of the UI maps onto them.
- Space — a workspace that groups related Agents. You can belong to one or several. See Spaces.
- Agent — a configured AI assistant inside a Space. It has its own model, system prompt, Knowledge, and Apps. See Agents.
- Knowledge Document — files, wiki pages, or synced content an Agent can search and cite. See Knowledge.
- App — an extension that gives an Agent extra capabilities or screens. See Apps.
Where things live in the sidebar
| If you want to… | Go to |
|---|---|
| See your dashboard | Home |
| Search across your conversations | Search (opens a conversation-search modal) |
| Pick a Space to work in | Spaces |
| Work in your own personal space | Private Space |
| Open a standalone App | Apps (shown only when you have at least one standalone App) |
| Open an Agent and start chatting | A Space → select an Agent |
| Update your profile or password | Your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar → My Account |
The left sidebar also lists the Spaces you have access to under Recent Spaces, and your Last Chats below them. Click any chat to jump back into that conversation.
If you belong to only one Space and can't create new ones, the Spaces list is hidden and Home takes you straight into your single Space.
Admin-only areas live under Admin Tools, reached by clicking the tenant name at the top of the sidebar — for example Global Settings, Apps, Users & Permissions, Global Knowledge, Variables, Insights & Analytics, LLM Calls, Activity, and Caches & Queues. They are only visible if your role allows it.
A typical first session
- Open a Space from the sidebar.
- Pick an Agent inside that Space.
- Send a message in the chat. The Agent will reply, and if it uses Knowledge or Apps you'll see that surface in its response.
- Leave a thumbs-up or thumbs-down if your administrator has enabled feedback capture.
