This article covers the eight workspace items lemAgent generates during conversations, when each requires validation, and how to interact with them.
As lemAgent works through a conversation, it builds interactive cards in a panel on the right side of the screen. These are called workspace items. Each one represents a structured output, a lead list, a campaign strategy, a drafted sequence, that you can review, edit, and act on before anything goes live.
When the panel shows a new item, lemAgent is often waiting for your review before it continues. This is not a bug or a stall, it’s the agent asking for your approval.
Where workspace items appear
The workspace panel sits on the right side of the lemAgent conversation view. It appears automatically when lemAgent produces a structured output. If a conversation only involved a simple query, like asking for a performance summary, no items may be generated.
The 8 workspace item types
lemAgent can generate eight types of workspace items. Some pause the conversation and require you to validate before the agent continues — others are informational only.
Item type | What it contains | Requires validation? |
Leads list | Prospects found based on your ICP criteria | No — review and push to campaign when ready |
Companies list | Companies matching your search criteria | No — review and use as a starting point |
Campaign strategy | Objective, target audience, messaging angle, CTA, and sequence logic | Yes — lemAgent waits before building the sequence |
Sequence | Ordered steps, channels, and wait times for your outreach. Steps can be set as manual, with a priority, so a rep handles them instead of lemlist sending automatically | Yes — lemAgent waits before drafting messages |
Messages | Drafted copy for each step in the sequence | Yes — confirm before the campaign is created |
Table | Data returned from a workspace query (e.g., active campaigns, reply rates) | No — informational only |
Inbox conversation | A conversation from your shared inbox, shown for context or reply drafting | No — informational only |
Sending settings | Sender configuration for the campaign being built, including the sender strategy used to pick a sender for each lead | No — review and assign a sender to proceed |
Tip: You can ask lemAgent to change the sender strategy directly in the conversation, including matching a sender from a custom field on each lead. The sidebar reflects the change without switching tabs.
The validation pattern
Three item types — Campaign strategy, Sequence, and Messages — pause lemAgent and require you to click Validate before it moves forward. This gives you a checkpoint to catch mistakes before they become live campaigns.
What to check before validating each item:
Campaign strategy: Does the ICP match your real target? Is the messaging angle accurate? Is the CTA what you actually want?
Sequence: Does the channel order make sense for your sales motion? Are the wait times appropriate? Are the right steps set as manual, with the priority you expect?
Messages: Is the copy on-brand? Are the personalization tokens correct? Does the CTA match the strategy?
Tip: If something is off, don’t validate. Update your prompt with clearer instructions and ask lemAgent to revise — it will generate a new version for you to review.
How items stack across a conversation
Workspace items stay visible in the panel as the conversation progresses — they don’t disappear once validated. You can scroll up to review earlier outputs at any point, for example checking the campaign strategy again while reviewing the sequence.
Common confusions
lemAgent has stopped responding
If lemAgent goes quiet after generating a workspace item, check the panel. It’s waiting for you to validate a strategy, sequence, or messages card before it can continue.
I validated too quickly — the strategy is wrong
Tell lemAgent what to revise and it will generate an updated version for you to validate again. You can iterate as many times as needed before the campaign is created.
I don’t see a workspace panel
The panel only appears when lemAgent produces a structured output. If you’re having a simple back-and-forth conversation (e.g., asking about campaign performance), no workspace items will be generated and the panel will remain hidden.
