# Artifacts

> Create, view, edit, export, and share designed work like slide decks, documents, and dashboards.

An artifact is a designed, rendered piece of work: a slide deck, a print-ready document, a graphic, a dashboard, an animation, a whiteboard, or an interactive prototype. Every artifact is made of frames — the slides, pages, or panels of the work — laid out on a canvas.

## Creating an artifact

The main way to create an artifact is to ask the agent.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe what you want">
    In the chat panel, tell the agent what to make — "Create a five-slide deck summarizing the Q3 review" or "Build a one-page poster for the launch event."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it build">
    The agent builds the artifact frame by frame, and the chat shows its progress as each frame is added.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the result">
    When it's done, the artifact appears as a chip in the chat. Click it to open the artifact.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can also create an empty artifact from the **New entry** picker, where artifact is one of the primary types — it shows a short create form. There is no manual drawing tool; from there, you build the content by asking the agent.

## Editing with the agent

Editing an artifact means asking the agent to change it. To point at a specific part:

1. With the pointer tool active, click a frame — or an element inside a frame — to select it.
2. Tell the agent what to change: "make this headline bigger," "swap this chart to a bar chart."

The agent knows what you have selected and edits that frame.

## Viewing an artifact

Opening an artifact shows all of its frames laid out on a canvas. You can pan with the trackpad and pinch to zoom, or use the zoom controls. Two tools switch how clicks behave:

* **Pointer tool** — click frames and elements to select them for the agent.
* **Hand tool** — drag to pan around the canvas.

**Present mode** shows the work full-screen. A deck steps through one frame at a time, fitted to the screen; a document scrolls continuously, like a PDF.

<Note>
  If an artifact can't render, you'll see "Artifact body could not be rendered — ask the agent to recreate this artifact." Asking the agent to recreate it resolves this.

## Exporting

Open the **…** menu and choose **Export**:

| Option             | What you get                                                                             |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Export as PDF**  | A PDF with one page per frame                                                            |
| **Export as PNG**  | One image per frame                                                                      |
| **Export as HTML** | A single self-contained HTML file — images and fonts are bundled in, so it works offline |

One export runs at a time. There is no PowerPoint export.

## Sharing

Use a public link to share an artifact with people outside your workspace. The link is read-only and opens the artifact in present mode. See [Sharing](/workspace/sharing) for how public links work.

## Fonts

Artifacts use fonts uploaded to your library — the agent can apply any font family you've added there. External font URLs are blocked, so a font must be in the library before an artifact can use it. See [Media in your work](/library/media-in-your-work).
