​
Chat with the agent

The left chat panel is how you steer the coding agent.

​
What the agent can do

Inside your project sandbox, the agent can:
  • Create and edit files
  • Install packages
  • Run commands in the terminal
  • Inspect errors and iterate
  • Use project tools exposed by the platform (for example publish helpers, when available in-product)

​
Build, Plan, and Ask

In the workspace composer, choose a mode: Use Plan when the change is ambiguous or risky. Use Ask for explanations, reviews, or “what does this do?” without mutating files. Use Build when you want execution.
The dashboard create prompt focuses on starting a project (Build-oriented). Full Build / Plan / Ask modes are available in the project workspace.

​
Streaming progress

Agent runs stream live events (text, tool calls). Leave the tab open during a run so you can steer with follow-ups after it finishes.

​
Attachments

Where the UI allows, attach screenshots or references so the agent can match layout and copy more closely.

​
Sessions and memory

Runs can resume context via the project’s session/checkpointer behavior — the agent is oriented around this project, not a generic chat with no files.

​
When the agent pauses

If you are out of tokens, the agent stops until you top up or your next monthly allotment refreshes (Free or Pro). Files and published apps remain. If email is unverified, the agent will not run until you complete email verification. See Tokens.
