# AgentSteering

Queue a note for a running agent’s next step without stopping it, and see whether each note was applied.

- **Use it for**: Changing what a running agent does next without cancelling it.
- **Not for**: Starting a new run or answering a question the agent asked. Try [PromptInput](https://unseenui.com/components/prompt-input/), [ClarificationRequest](https://unseenui.com/components/clarification-request/).
