More than answers

A plain chat writes replies. The Core Agent gets work done. Here are its main powers, in plain words.

1. You chat with it to assign work

Talk to the Agent like a teammate. Describe the outcome you want. It plans the steps and reports back in the same conversation.
“Prepare a one-page brief for our spring launch and give me a document I can download.”
Start here: Chat with your first Agent.

2. It creates documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs

This is the everyday win. The Core Agent can produce actual files — not only text in the chat — and open them in the preview panel so you can download them.
1

Ask for something concrete

“Write this up as a document I can download.” · “Make a spreadsheet…” · “Create a PDF…”
2

It appears in the preview panel

The file opens on the right so you can read it in full.

3

Copy or download it

Use the copy or download buttons to take the file with you.

“Artifact” just means a thing the Agent made — usually a file. If you see that word, think “the finished document.”

3. It uses tools to take action

Tools let the Agent do real things beyond writing — searching, looking something up, or working with a service you’ve connected.
  • Ask “Find the latest info on X and summarize it” and it can search, then write.
  • Connect tools in Integrations.

4. It takes multiple steps on its own

For a bigger request, the Agent breaks the work into steps and does them in order — so you don’t guide every move.
You: “Gather this week’s sign-ups, group them by country, and write a short summary document.” The Agent: gathers → groups → writes → gives you the file.
Watch the steps as it works. See Run & share.

5. It can run sub-tasks

For complex jobs, the Agent can spin off smaller helper tasks and bring results together. You don’t manage these — you’ll just see it working through the pieces.

6. It remembers your sessions

Every conversation is saved as a session. Reopen one later and continue. See Using the Agents tab.

Putting it together — an example

You: “Look up our top 5 selling products this month, then write a one-page summary I can download, with a short recommendation for each.”
The Core Agent will: use tools to gather data → work step by step → write the summary → drop a downloadable file in the preview panel. One request, a finished document.
