# Chatting with the agent

> Open the chat panel, manage your conversations, and see what the agent can do for you.

The agent lives in the chat panel on the right side of the workspace. Press <kbd>⌘</kbd>+<kbd>/</kbd> (or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>/</kbd>) to open or close it, or press <kbd>Esc</kbd> to close it.

## Conversations

Each chat is a separate conversation, and your history is saved so you can come back to any of them.

* **New chat** (<kbd>⌘</kbd>+<kbd>J</kbd>) starts a fresh conversation.
* **Chats** opens your history. Search it with **Search chats…**, and pin, rename, or delete any conversation. Pinned chats stay at the top, and a chat the agent is currently working in shows a live dot.
* **Resume last chat** takes you straight back to your most recent conversation.
* While the agent is working, the send button becomes **Stop** — click it to interrupt.

You don't have to wait for the agent to finish. Switch to another chat, or close the panel entirely — the agent keeps working in the background, and you can run several conversations at once.

## What the agent can do

Ask in plain language; the agent picks the right action.

**Find and read**

* Search and read anything you can access — entries, folders, and everything linked to them.
* Follow connections: "what's related to this project?"

**Create and edit**

* Create entries, edit them, rename them (links update automatically), move them between folders, and delete them.
* Build and edit [artifacts](/artifacts/overview) — decks, graphics, and documents — frame by frame.
* Work with [datasets](/artifacts/datasets): look up answers, add rows, and update cells.

**Bring things in**

* Import files into your workspace and attach assets from your [library](/library/overview) to entries.
* Search the web, when web search is enabled in [Settings](/settings/overview).
* Use your connected apps through [connectors](/agent/connectors).

**Keep things organized**

* Create, rename, and archive [folders](/workspace/folders).
* Follow your saved [skills](/agent/skills) for repeatable tasks.
* Run the onboarding interview to learn about you and your studio.

<Info>
  The agent acts as you. It can only see and change the folders you have access to — nothing more.
</Info>

## Long conversations

In a long chat, the agent summarizes older messages to stay focused — you'll see a **Compacted** divider where that happened. If a conversation grows too large to continue, the agent asks you to start a new chat.

<Warning>
  Deleting a chat also deletes the files you attached to it. Attachments live only in the conversation — anything you imported into your workspace is unaffected.
</Warning>

## Next steps

* [Giving the agent context](/agent/context-and-attachments) — attachments, selections, and how the agent knows what you're looking at.
* [Skills](/agent/skills) — teach the agent your repeatable tasks.
