+## Programmatic Conversation Starting (v0.17.0+)
+
+Create conversations programmatically with auto-sent prompts using the imperative `startNewConversation` API:
+
+```typescript
+import { useRef } from 'react';
+import AIAgentPanel, { AIAgentPanelHandle } from '@hef2024/llmasaservice-ui';
+
+const panelRef = useRef<AIAgentPanelHandle>(null);
+
+// Quick action button that starts a conversation
+<button onClick={() => 
+  panelRef.current?.startNewConversation('Give me a summary')
+}>
+  Quick Summary
+</button>
+
+<AIAgentPanel ref={panelRef} agents={['agent-id']} customerId="user-123" />
+```
+
+Perfect for quick actions, contextual help, onboarding flows, and more!
