# Internal Chat

> The **Internal Chat** is a live execution, testing, and inspection environment built directly into the Agent Builder. <br /> It allows you to interact with your Agent using the **exact same configuration, reasoning engine, tools, and provider** that will be used in production. <br /> <br /> More than a chat interface, the Internal Chat is designed for **debugging, validation, and deep inspection** of Agent behavior before deployment.

## What You Can Do With the Internal Chat

<h3 style={{ marginTop: '1rem' }}>Test Real Agent Behavior</h3>

The Internal Chat runs your Agent exactly as it would run in production. <br />
You can use it to:

* Validate how the **Prompt** behaves in real conversations
* Test how **Temperature, Effort, Planning, and Reasoning** affect responses
* Verify how **Conditional Prompts** are triggered
* Adjust tone, flow, and instructions safely before publishing

***

<h3 style={{ marginTop: '1rem' }}>Send Rich Inputs</h3>

The Internal Chat supports full interaction testing, including:

* Text messages
* **Images**
* **Audio files**
* **Documents and attachments**

This allows you to simulate real-world user behavior and test how your Agent handles different input types.

***

<h3 style={{ marginTop: '1rem' }}>Inspect Every Message and Execution Step</h3>

Each Agent response can be fully **inspected**.

Using the inspection view, you can:

* See the **execution timeline** of the response
* Inspect every **iteration** performed by the Agent
* View tool calls, inputs, and outputs
* Understand how the Agent reasoned and which resources were used
* Analyze the complete **execution pipeline** that generated the response

***

<h3 style={{ marginTop: '1rem' }}>View Internal usage quota Consumption</h3>

The Internal Chat displays **credit usage per execution**, allowing you to:

* See how many credits each response consumes
* Compare different models, reasoning modes, or settings
* Optimize cost before deploying to production

<Warning>
  **Important**: Using the Internal Chat does consume internal usage quota, exactly like production conversations.
</Warning>

***

<h3 style={{ marginTop: '1rem' }}>Manage Conversation History</h3>

The Internal Chat includes full conversation management tools:

* **Clear the current conversation** to start fresh tests
* Access a **complete history** of past interactions
* Restore previous conversations by date and time

This allows you to revisit older tests, compare behaviors over time, and reproduce specific scenarios.

***

## Why the Internal Chat Matters

The Internal Chat allows you to:

* Iterate safely without affecting users
* Debug complex Agent logic with full transparency
* Validate production behavior before publishing
* Optimize performance, cost, and reliability

It is the **primary tool for building high-quality, predictable Agents** in Timely.ai.
