The Buttons tool lets your AI agent send up to five buttons at once, giving users a clear set of choices to click on. This is useful when you want to guide the conversation with specific options instead of relying only on free-text input. When a user clicks a button, the text on that button is sent back to the agent as if the user had typed it. ## Sending buttons from inside the Agent step [](https://yz5du1veb1.ufs.sh/f/9fKud4NeF5NShTQdst7RAecUY5SiGX3h7ots6mNzP01FZfr4) Inside an [Agent step](/docs/agents), enable the **Buttons** option on the sidebar. Then, set the **LLM description** to describe to your agent when and how it should use the Buttons tool. We also recommend updating your agent's **Instructions** to also specify when buttons should be sent. This will dramatically increase your agent's success rate of sending buttons at the correct time. ## Manually sending buttons You can also manually send buttons to a user using the [Button step](/docs/buttons-v2).
