Using chat

Start a chat, pick a model, work multi-turn, stop and regenerate, and work with generated artifacts.

Chat is the front door to Agentic Studio. This guide covers the everyday flow.

Start a chat

From the chat home, type your question in the composer and submit. Ask in plain language, the way you would ask a colleague about your operation.

If you are not sure where to start, the home screen puts starter chips under the composer for the things the assistant can make: a document, a slide deck, a data table, a diagram, a map, an image, or a research report. Picking one fills the composer with a prompt you can edit. Nothing sends until you send it.

Type / at the start of an empty composer to run a skill instead of writing the request yourself.

Pick a model

A model picker sits next to the composer. Leave it on Auto to let the platform choose a model based on the weight of your request, or pick a specific model if you have a preference. Auto routes lighter requests to a faster, cheaper model and heavier ones to a stronger model.

Work multi-turn

A conversation keeps its context, so you can ask follow-up questions instead of starting over. The thread shows each turn in order, with the assistant's reasoning and any tools it used along the way. Repeated calls to the same tool group into one card you can expand when you want the detail.

Stop, edit, and regenerate

On your own chats you can refine the conversation:

Stop a running answer if it is going the wrong way. The work stops where it is and the partial answer stays in the thread.
Edit one of your own messages to rephrase and re-run from that point.
Regenerate the assistant's last response if you want another take.
Copy any message, and mark a response as good or bad to give feedback.

A long answer keeps working even if you navigate away, and the sidebar shows which chats are still busy. Come back to the chat and the thread catches up on its own.

Work with generated artifacts

When the assistant produces something richer than text, it appears as an artifact card that opens in a side panel. Artifacts cover tables, code, diagrams, maps, documents, slide decks, images, and live previews of generated pages.

From the panel you can preview an artifact, switch between the ones in the chat, read the underlying source on a separate tab, copy or download it, and, if the chat lives in a project, save it to the project's Artifacts board. Documents, tables, and decks export to PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, and PowerPoint; a chat reply on its own can be exported to PDF or Word.

Chat visibility

A chat is private to you by default. You can switch it to shared so anyone in your workspace can view it. Shared chats are read-only for everyone except the owner. Either way, a chat is only ever visible inside your own workspace.

The assistant answers using the data you are authorized to see. It does not widen your access, and it never reaches into another organization's data. See AI and PHI.
