Ask Pulse

Ask questions about your work and workspace, attach files and get answers from Pulse, the Hplix AI assistant.

Pulse is the AI assistant in Hplix. Ask it about your tasks, projects, approvals, people and files in plain language, and it looks up the answer in your workspace.

Choose a model

Click the model name in the prompt box, for example gpt-5.4-mini, and select another model. Each model has a short description, such as Fast and cost-efficient or Strong reasoning and writing. Pulse uses the model you pick for your next messages.

Answer Pulse's questions

When Pulse needs more details before it can do something for you, it asks in a question card above the prompt box. For example, if you ask Request 1 day of annual leave for me on November 20, 2026., Pulse asks who should approve the request and what the reason is.

  1. Read the question. Question 1 of 2 shows how many questions there are.
  2. Type your answer under Write an answer.
  3. Click Continue to go to the next question. Use the arrows to go back and forth, or click Close (×) to close the card.

After the last question, Pulse sends your answers in the conversation and tells you what it is going to submit.
