Chat with your agent
Use the Agent Canvas to ask questions, attach context, choose a model and follow actions as they happen.
The Agent Canvas is where you work. Type a request, add context when it helps and let the agent decide which connected capabilities can complete the task.
Write a request
The composer is labeled Message Vinkius. Type normally, paste text or attach an image. When you type @, the connector picker opens so you can mention a specific connected service in the request.
The composer also shows the selected model, the response mode and the context meter. If no model is ready, selecting the model control takes you to Models.
Follow the response
A response can include a direct answer, a streamed answer, capability activity and a browser preview. The Canvas keeps the conversation readable while the activity detail panel lets you inspect a selected step.
Look for:
- A capability card when the agent is about to use a connected service
- A confirmation card when your approval is required
- A credential setup card when a connector needs a missing credential
- A browser activity row when the agent is working on a website
- A strategy or subagent activity panel when the task has multiple stages
Steer a response
While the agent is responding, the composer becomes a steer control. You can queue a correction, edit it, remove it or send it immediately. Cancel stops the current response. The app keeps your draft instead of silently discarding it.
Keep context focused
Use the context indicator and connector mentions to keep a request focused. A small, specific request usually makes it easier to see which capability the agent chose and why.
New chats and existing work
Every chat belongs to a Space. Start a new chat from the Space sidebar, continue an existing conversation or open Space statistics from its menu.
