Zark uses an intelligent routing system to handle every request — from simple questions to complex multi-step workflows.

​
Chat or Action?

When you send a message, Zark first decides whether it can answer directly or whether it needs to take action.
  • Conversation — greetings, opinions, general knowledge, follow-up clarifications. Zark responds directly.
  • Action — anything that requires looking something up, creating content, processing files, querying data, or producing output. Zark selects tools and executes them.
Most messages trigger the action path. Zark defaults to doing things, not just talking.

​
Automatic Tool Selection

When Zark decides to take action, it selects the right tools based on signals in your request:
SignalRoutes to
File references (“this file”, “my documents”)File Manager
Creation language (“create”, “generate”, “write”)Image Generator, Video Generator, or Artifact Creator
Data questions (“top 10 by”, “average”, “compare”)Database Engine
Current events (“latest”, “today”, “news”)Web Search
Processing requests (“transcribe”, “index”)Media Processor
Past references (“remember when”, “last time”)Chat History Search
When a request spans multiple domains, Zark combines tools automatically — running them in parallel when possible and sequencing them when one tool’s output feeds into another.

​
Multi-Tool Requests

Some questions require more than one tool. Zark handles this automatically: “Research the top EV companies and create a comparison report” Zark runs Web Search to gather the research, then passes the results to Artifact Creator to generate the document. You don’t need to specify the steps — Zark figures out the order. “What’s the weather in Tokyo and find flights from LA to Tokyo” Both queries run simultaneously since neither depends on the other. Results arrive together.

​
The Marketplace

When core tools can’t answer a domain-specific question, Zark searches the Marketplace — an ecosystem of community-built skills, API integrations, and shared datasets. If a matching skill is found, Zark uses it. If not, it falls back to Web Search. This happens automatically. You don’t need to browse or install skills. For more on the Marketplace, see Marketplace Overview.

​
Session Context

Zark maintains context throughout a conversation:
  • Files you’ve uploaded stay available for follow-up questions
  • Data tables created from uploads persist across the session
  • Results from previous queries can be referenced in new questions
  • Follow-up questions like “now filter that to just Q4” work naturally
