You open the agent with the Agent button at the top right of the project screen. It is a button that appears only when a project is open, so the project list screen does not have it. Press it and a chat panel attaches to the right. It is less a conversation partner than something that works directly inside the project. It creates, edits, and deletes documents, sheets, plotboards, plot cards, canvases, and folders, and it also handles the relationships between files along with labels and statuses. It searches the web when needed.

​
Three modes

You pick one from the gear button (Mode) at the left of the composer. When you pick a mode other than Default, the name is attached to the button as Ask mode, so you can see at a glance which mode you are in.
The agent panel is open on the right and the gear button at the left of the composer has been pressed to expand the mode list. The three rows Default, Ask, and Plan and each row's description are not cut off, and a check is visible on the currently selected row.

The three modes. What the agent touches depends on the mode you pick.

Handing it the manuscript

It is written right in the composer: Type @ to add a file, or / for commands. Type @ and this project’s files appear. You can pick folders too. They expand into the files inside them when you send. The @ button on the left (Add context) opens the same list. Type / and commands appear. New chat · Clear chat · Compact conversation · Usage & credits deal with the conversation itself. Deep research · Review · Humanize · Copyedit · Proofread are manuscript work. Picking one of the last five embeds a fragment in the composer, so write what it should apply to after it.

​
It asks before it changes anything

Right before it creates, edits, or deletes a file, an approval card appears. Press one of the four rows — Accept once · Allow for this session · Always allow · Reject — and it is settled on the spot. Actions you set to Always allow are not asked about again. When several approvals pile up, step through them one at a time or cut them off all at once with Reject all.

​
Models and credits

You change the model at the right of the composer. Premium models carry a lock and say Available on Pro and above. Light models work regardless of plan. Whichever model you use, every run draws down your AI balance.
An empty conversation lays out four rows under the name Suggestions: Review manuscript, Research a topic, Get an overview, and Find documents. Pressing one fills that sentence into the composer, so edit the rest.
