# Chat with Your First Agent

> Open the Agents tab and get a real deliverable — a document you can download — in a few minutes.

## This is where work gets done

**Agents** are the main way to use AI Suite. You describe what you want in plain English; the **Core Agent** plans the steps, uses tools when needed, and can hand you a finished **document, spreadsheet, or PDF** — not only a chat reply.

Let's do one task together.

## Step by step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Agents">
    Click **Agents** in the menu on the left. You'll see your sessions on the left, the chat in the middle, and space for a file preview on the right.

    <Frame caption="The Agents tab — where you chat with the Core Agent and collect files it creates.">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new chat">
    Click **+** (new tab or new chat) so you have a clean session for this task.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask for a deliverable">
    Type something concrete. Try copying this:

    > *Write a friendly one-page project brief for a coffee shop loyalty program. Include Goal, Audience, Key Message, and Next Steps. Give me a document I can download.*

    <Tip>
      Name the **outcome** (a downloadable document) and the **sections** you want. Clear outcomes get better results. More tips in [Writing good prompts](/user-guide/writing-prompts).
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it work">
    The Agent may show steps as it goes — drafting, formatting, creating a file. That is normal.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open and download the file">
    When a file is ready, it appears in the **preview panel** on the right. Read it, then use **copy** or **download**.

    <Frame caption="A file the Agent created, open in the preview panel.">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask for changes">
    Stay in the same session and refine:

    > *Make the Key Message shorter and add a simple timeline for the next two weeks.*

    The Agent remembers the brief and updates the file.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Did I break anything?">
    No. You can't break the platform by chatting with an Agent. If the result isn't right, ask again in clearer words.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="When should I use plain Chat instead?">
    Use [plain Chat](/user-guide/first-chat) for quick Q\&A with no file or tools needed. For real deliverables, stay in **Agents**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I learn docs, sheets, and PDFs in detail?">
    See [Create docs, sheets & PDFs](/user-guide/agents/create-files).
