Key Capabilities

Natural Language Understanding

Communicate with Kaman the way you'd talk to a colleague. No need to learn special commands or syntax - simply describe what you need in plain language.

Examples:

• "Show me all customer complaints from last month and identify common themes"
• "Generate a summary report of our Q3 sales performance with charts"
• "Find all documents related to the Johnson account and create a timeline"
• "Analyze this CSV and suggest data quality improvements"

Sub-Agent Delegation

For complex tasks, the AI Assistant can spawn specialized sub-agents that handle specific aspects of the work:

Sub-Agent Types:

Transparent Thinking

See exactly how the AI reasons through your requests with visible thinking indicators:

What You See:

• Thinking bubbles showing the AI's reasoning process
• Tool progress indicators for each action being taken
• Step-by-step explanations of what's happening
• Confidence levels for conclusions and recommendations

Multi-Model Support & System Model Configuration

Choose the right AI model for your needs:

System Model Configuration: Administrators can assign specific models for different agent purposes:

Models can be configured globally or per-organization, with automatic fallback chains if the primary model is unavailable. Manage system models from the Super Admin > System Models dashboard.

Rich Artifact Generation

Generate sophisticated outputs directly from conversation:

Artifact Types:

• Charts & Visualizations - Interactive charts from your data
• HTML Applications - Functional web applications
• Reports & Documents - Formatted business documents
• Code & Scripts - Ready-to-use automation scripts
• Data Tables - Structured data outputs

Context-Aware Responses

The AI Assistant maintains awareness of:

• Your conversation history
• Your role within the organization
• Department-specific vocabulary
• Previous interactions and preferences
• Relevant organizational knowledge

How It Works

Understanding Your Request

1. Parse - The assistant analyzes your request to understand intent
2. Contextualize - It considers your role, permissions, and conversation history
3. Plan - It determines the steps needed, potentially involving sub-agents
4. Verify - For sensitive operations, it confirms before proceeding

Executing Tasks

Transparency at Every Step

Every action taken by the AI Assistant is:

• Visible - Watch thinking and reasoning in real-time
• Logged - Complete audit trail of all operations
• Explainable - Clear reasoning for decisions and actions
• Controllable - Stop or modify operations at any point
• Reviewable - Full history available for compliance and analysis

Skill System

The AI Assistant learns and improves through automatic skill extraction:

How Skills Work

Skill Lifecycle:

1. Extraction - Successful interaction patterns are identified
2. Validation - Skills are tested and refined
3. Evolution - Skills improve with usage feedback
4. Sharing - Proven skills become available organization-wide

Skill Sources

Skills can include supporting files (scripts, schemas, templates) beyond the core skill definition, enabling complex multi-file capabilities.
