Understanding Halo Chat actions

Halo Chat uses explicit input actions so you can choose exactly what to do next: start a guided project handoff, analyze a webpage URL, upload files, or insert saved assets from your Asset Library.

Action Row Overview

In the chat composer, the action row gives you four clear options:

• Start Project: Guided interview that hands off approved inputs to a Halo Studio tool
• Analyze Webpage: Paste a URL and let Halo extract/analyze page content with your brand context
• Upload Files & Media: Attach image, document, audio, or video files for context
• Insert from Asset Library: Attach a saved asset by reference without re-uploading it

When to Use Each Action

Using Actions

Use actions directly from the input row:

Action Behavior Details

• Start Project intent handling: If your message clearly asks Halo to create a concrete deliverable (for example, a blog post or email sequence), Halo may guide you into the Start Project flow. You can always use the explicit Start Project button when you want a guided handoff.
• Project path selection: After Start Project opens, choose a project path card to begin the guided questions. If you cancel, Halo returns to the normal idle action row.
• Analyze Webpage validation: Analyze Webpage accepts public HTTP/S URLs and is designed for readable web pages (HTML/text). Login walls, blocked hosts, unsupported content types, or timeouts can cause extraction errors.
• Resetting action state: You can cancel an active Start Project flow or close/reopen an action dialog to reset the current action state without deleting the conversation.
