There are several ways to hold your agent back, from the lightest to the final one. None of them, except Delete, makes it lose anything.

​
Stop what it’s doing

If you asked it for something and changed your mind, or it’s taking too long:
  • In the minai chat: while it works, the send button turns into Stop. Tap it. You can also type /stop and send it.
  • On Telegram, WhatsApp or Slack: send /stop, on its own, with nothing else.
It cuts the current task short. Your agent doesn’t get it as a message, and the conversation stays as it was.

While it works, the Stop button

If you only want to correct something, you don’t need to stop it: just write to it. What you send while it works joins the task.

​
Restart

For when it’s stuck and doesn’t answer. In the agent, Overview → Restart. It asks “Restart Clara?”: “For when it’s stuck: it cuts short what it’s doing and starts again. The conversation goes on; nothing is deleted.”. Confirm with Restart and you’ll see “Clara started again” and “You can write to it now.”.

Restarting doesn’t delete the conversation: it carries on where it was.

​
Pause and resume

In the agent, Overview → Pause. It asks “Pause Clara?”: “It won’t answer or run its schedules until you resume it. Nothing is deleted, and it still counts toward your plan.”.

Confirming the pause

While it’s paused:
  • If you write to it, you get an answer in its name: “Clara is paused. To have it answer again, resume it from minai.”.
  • It doesn’t run its schedules.
  • You can’t add plugins to it.
  • It still takes up its spot in your plan: pausing doesn’t free up room for another agent.
To bring it back, tap Resume in the same place. It doesn’t ask for confirmation.

​
What about starting from scratch?

There’s no button to delete the conversation: with each agent you have a single conversation that keeps going. Depending on what you’re after:
  • For it to forget something: tell it (“Forget my old address”) and it removes it from its memory. See Talk and remember.
  • To truly start from scratch: create another agent. See Create an agent.
Changing its AI (for example, from Claude to ChatGPT) in Model does start a new conversation: it’s left with just a summary of the latest, and it keeps its memory, plugins, keys and schedules. Changing only the Level doesn’t break off the conversation.

​
Delete

In the agent, Overview → Delete Clara. It asks “Delete Clara?” (in this example, Clara talks on Telegram): “Its plugins, schedules and memory are deleted, and it stops answering on Telegram. This can’t be undone.”.

Confirming the deletion

Deleting an agent can’t be undone. Everything of its goes: plugins, keys, schedules, memory and files.
What happens to its channel:
  • Telegram: minai can’t delete the bot. The bot says the agent was deleted and stops answering; if you want, you delete it yourself from Telegram.
  • WhatsApp: the line leaves the group.
  • Slack: the channel is archived.
Deleting is the only thing that frees up its spot in your plan.

Talk and remember

How the conversation keeps going and what it remembers.
