Running AI Grid Agents

Once you've set up your AI Grid Agent with all the right columns, tools, and prompts – it's time to let your AI do the heavy lifting. Running an AI Grid Agent is simple, flexible, and built to give you full control over each step of the workflow.

Getting Started: Ready to Run​

Before running your Grid Agent, make sure you've:

  • ✅ Created all necessary Input Columns and AI Columns
  • ✅ Configured each tool, prompt, and output format
  • ✅ (If needed) Uploaded documents for tools like Files Search or Files Analysis

Once everything's set up, you're ready to hit run!

How to Run Your AI Grid Agent​

Running an agent is straightforward:

  1. Select the Rows you want to process
  2. Click the "Run" button that appears at the bottom of your grid

Lampi's AI will then begin working through each row, following your column setup and completing the steps you've defined – whether it's:

  • Analyzing uploaded documents
  • Performing web searches
  • Summarizing previous results
  • Or completing multi-step logic across your workflow

Each cell will be automatically populated based on the selected tools, input data, and prompts you've configured.

Running Individual Cells​

Need more control?

You can also run specific cells manually:

  • Just click the small "Run" button directly inside a cell
  • This is helpful when testing a new column setup or re-running just one part of a row

Monitoring Progress​

As your AI Grid Agent runs, you'll see the real-time status of each task:

You can follow the progress column by column or row by row.

Stopping and Relaunching Your Agent​

Pause Execution​

You can pause the execution at any time:

  • Click "Stop" in the top-right corner of the grid
  • Any in-progress or queued steps will be halted

Resume or Re-run​

Need to re-run or resume?

  • You can re-select rows or specific cells and click "Re-Run"
  • Previously completed cells will not be overwritten unless you choose to re-run them

This allows you to:

  • Troubleshoot prompts or tools mid-execution
  • Make small changes and pick up where you left off

Important: Edits Are Locked While Running​

To keep things smooth and consistent:

warning

While your AI agent is running, you cannot edit the structure of your grid.

This includes:

  • Adding/removing columns
  • Changing prompts
  • Editing tools or output formats

If you need to make changes:

  1. Stop the agent
  2. Make your edits
  3. Re-run your agent as needed

🎯 You're All Set!​

Running your AI Grid Agent turns your table into a live, intelligent analysis – where insights, data, and documents all come together in one dynamic system.
