What Is This Error?

When you type a message into Atlas Agent and see the response "I need a message to respond" instead of a normal reply, the agent is not recognising your input. This is a known issue where Atlas Agent's text input becomes blocked, preventing normal interactions.

What Causes This Error?

This error has been identified as a persistent blocker affecting text input in Atlas Agent. When it occurs, every message you type triggers the same error response, with no successful interactions possible. This is not something that can be resolved through browser-level adjustments on your end — it requires review and action by our team.
