AI Field Agents in the middle of generating can now be stopped manually. When generation runs long or gets stuck in a perpetual loading state, click Stop Agent next to the field to immediately return it to its regular state and discard the in-flight LLM response.
Key highlights
- Stop Agent Button: A new Stop Agent button appears on every AI Field Agent currently in the generating state, with a 'Stop agent' tooltip on hover.
- Immediate Return: Clicking Stop returns the field to its regular state without waiting for the LLM response, so the user can continue working.
- Discarded Response: Any LLM response that arrives after a stop is discarded and does not write to the record, so the field stays in the state the user left it in.
- Configuration Preserved: Stopping an agent does not change its configuration; the prompt, the model, and any toggles stay in place for the next run.
- Free Runs Counted: Canceled executions still count against the workspace's Free Runs pool, since the LLM call has already been issued at the point of cancellation.
How it works
- When an AI Field Agent enters the generating state, a Stop Agent button appears next to the field.
- The button is available wherever the agent renders: inline editing in Grid View, the Record Page, and the Record Details Widget.
- On click, the field reverts to its regular state immediately, abandoning the in-flight LLM call from the user's perspective.
- The system listens for the LLM response in the background and discards it on arrival; the record value is never updated by a canceled run.
- The agent's configuration is untouched, so the next manual run or automatic trigger executes normally without reconfiguration.
Use this when an AI Field Agent is taking too long, when a slow model is blocking inline editing, or when an agent appears stuck and you need to recover the field without disabling the agent.
