Claude
Actions
- Ask ClaudeAsk Claude to write, summarise or answer something, and get its reply.
- Start an agentHand a task to an agent you've set up in the Claude Console. It works on its own in Anthropic's cloud, so follow this step with 'Wait for a Claude agent's reply' to get its answer.
- Wait for an agent's replyWait until a Claude agent has finished its task, then get its reply. If the agent asks permission to use a tool, this step declines, as nobody is there to approve it.

- Analyze an imageAsk Claude a question about a picture, such as a photo, a screenshot or a scanned form, and get its answer.
