# The Agent (Skills Chat) The Agent is a chat assistant inside the editor that you specialize by loading **skills** — each skill teaches it a workflow (designing a car, building a storyboard, writing a video prompt) and it can generate images and videos and act on your canvas. ## How the Agent works The chat *is* the agent. One conversation = one chat. You load skills into a chat to specialize what it knows; the same generic assistant runs every conversation, and loaded skills extend it with specialist knowledge, optional workflow state, and image/video generation. You can load several skills into one chat and unload them at any time. ## Open / collapse the Agent - Open it with the robot button at the bottom of the editor (toggles **Open agent** / **Close agent**). - Inside the panel, the header button toggles **Show chat** / **Hide chat** (also labelled **Collapse chat**) to fold the panel down to just the composer and back. ## Start a new chat - In the panel header, the **+** button (**New chat or reopen recent**) opens a popover with **New chat** at the top and your recent (closed) chats below. - On the landing screen, **Create new** (**Start a fresh chat without a skill loaded**) starts a blank chat, or pick a skill bubble under **Or start with a skill** to start a chat with that skill pre-loaded (its intro message appears first). ## Load / unload skills A skill specializes the chat. Three ways to load one: - **Slash picker:** type `/` in the composer to open the skill list and load a skill into the current chat. Already-loaded skills show a **Loaded** pill. - **Suggestion bubbles:** on the empty/landing screen, click a skill bubble (under **Or start with a skill**) — this starts or seeds a chat with that skill and posts its intro message. - **Auto-load:** the agent can quietly load a relevant skill itself mid-conversation when your request matches one. Loaded skills appear as chips above the textarea. Click the **×** on a chip to unload that skill. A chat can hold multiple skills at once. ## Send a prompt Type in the composer and press the **Send** button (or Enter). The composer shows an estimated credit cost for the next send. A voice-input button is available for dictation. ## Attach image / video references - Click **Add image** (**+** / **New image**) in the composer to pick a reference from your library via the image dialog. - Type `@` in the composer to mention an image from your library inline (e.g. `@image1`). - Attached references appear as a thumbnail strip above the textarea; each tile has a **Remove** control, and clicking a tile inserts its `@`-token into the prompt. Both image and video references are supported. References you attach are carried into generations the skill runs (e.g. locking a character, a vehicle, or a style). ## Thumbs feedback on generated images Generated images show **Thumbs up** / **Thumbs down** buttons. For iterative skills (e.g. Car Designer), your votes steer the next batch: thumbed-up images are pinned and the next generation sweeps around them. Click an active vote again to remove it. Use **View full size** to open an image in the lightbox. ## Confirm a generation When the agent is about to run a generation, it shows a **Yes** button (**Confirm and proceed**) with an estimated credit cost (≈ N) and, on hover, a cost breakdown. Generations only fire after you confirm. ## Choose from multiple next actions When the agent offers several next steps, it renders a row of choice buttons under the message. Each shows its label and, when costs differ, a per-action credit estimate. Click one to proceed with that action. ## Apply agent canvas actions When the agent proposes canvas/project changes, an action button appears (e.g. arranging selected nodes) with a preview of what it will do. Click the button to apply the actions to your canvas. Tip: select a few nodes and tell the agent something like "arrange these in a grid". ## Add a generated image to the canvas Drag any generated (or attached) image tile from the chat onto the canvas to place it. A tile already placed shows an **On canvas** chip. Images live in the chat's **Gallery** view too — toggle between **Chat** and **Gallery** with the view button in the header (layout button switches between single/large and grid). ## Continue in a fresh conversation When a chat fills up its context, a **Continue in fresh chat** button appears (and a notice that the context limit was reached). It spins up a new chat that carries over your loaded skills, workflow state, and pinned references, plus a short handoff summary — so you keep working without losing the thread. ## Manage chats (tabs & history) - Open chats show as tabs; each tab has **Rename chat** and **Close tab** controls. - The **+** popover (**New chat or reopen recent**) lists recent closed chats — click to reopen, or use **Delete** to remove one permanently. - Use **Open an existing chat** from the landing screen to jump back into a past conversation. ## Available skills Load one (or several) to specialize the chat: - **Car Designer** — iterative car ideation loop: ships 4 image variations per turn; thumb them up/down and the next batch sweeps around your picks. Supports a design-reference image (pull in the look of any object) and a tuned car LoRA. For designing a vehicle through visual iteration. - **Character Creator** — design a character (humans, anime, comic, anthropomorphic animals, fantasy, robots). Walks through type → identity → outfit, then ships a white-seamless base reference plus a 6-panel character sheet for consistency. - **Storyboard** — turn an idea into a storyboard / shot list / pre-vis for a film, ad, or music video; breaks a concept into beats and visual shots. - **Cinematic Prompt** — compose a video prompt for general cinema. Locks characters/wardrobe/environment by visual description across five cinema modes (Narrative, Studio, Action, Performance, Atmospheric). - **Cinematic Prompt — Seedance** — the same composer tuned for Seedance 2.0's deep reference stack (multiple image, video, and audio references in one generation). - **Cinematic Environment** — image-prompt composer for environment plates: single photoreal locations with no characters in frame (architecture, set dressing, atmosphere, light). Pairs with character work and video skills. - **Car Commercial** — automotive video layer on top of the cinematic composer: launches, dealership content, hero turntables, drive footage, track/rally clips. Locks the vehicle by visible properties and can run reference-to-video against the chat's references. - **Junior Interior Designer** — iterative car-interior ideation loop (dashboard, seats, console, trim): ships 4 cabin variations per turn, thumb-driven, with material/palette design-reference support and a tuned interior LoRA. - **Senior Interior Designer** — the same car-interior ideation loop, tuned for more refined, production-level cabin results. Load this instead of Junior Interior Designer for higher-fidelity interiors. ## Related - [Generating videos](/docs/product/video) — the agent's image-to-video and reference-to-video tools. - [Training & using LoRAs](/docs/product/lora) — the tuned models skills like Car Designer use. - [Character / design lock → multi-scene video series](/docs/playbooks/character-lock-series).
