Guide the Agent | Creativly Docs

Agent composer with one blue-cup image selected, an inline aurora-launch-directions note mention, and a request naming Nano Banana 2. — A selected image above the message, a named note inside it, and a clear request. This is a draft—not a submitted generation.

For an edit, say which source to use, what should change, and what must stay. Check the selected-item chips before sending; an unrelated selection can point the Agent at the wrong source.

Bring the right context

Canvas & notes
Files & tools

Click an image or file on the canvas—or in its Assets panel—to select it. It appears above the message under Selected. Remove a selection you do not want included.

Type @ or choose Elements to name an available note or canvas. Select the suggestion rather than just typing a filename. Here, the selected image is the source and the mentioned note provides creative direction.

Typing @ in Agent opens a real picker for creator-guide and aurora-launch-directions notes, while an image remains selected.

Review an image against a brief

Use + Add context → Upload file to attach an image and a PDF brief. Ask a specific question and say if you only want feedback—not new media.

Attach & ask
Read the review

Agent composer with a blue-cup image, PDF attachment icon, and a request to check the studio still against the Aurora brief without making new media. — An image and a PDF attached to the same message. The request asks for a short review, not a generation.

The uploaded files remain on the canvas for reuse. This example produced feedback only; it did not edit the image or generate another one.

Try the same example

Download the studio image and campaign brief, then attach both.

Does this studio still fit the attached Aurora brief? Give me a short verdict and one specific improvement. Just review the two attached files—don't generate media, edit the canvas or create any files.

Choose how it works

Thinking or Direct
Chat model

Thinking gives the Agent room to ask clarifying questions. Direct moves ahead with fewer check-ins. Choose the mode beside the send button; neither choice selects an image or video model.

Agent mode menu with Thinking checked and Direct available above the composer.

Want advice before making anything? Say so: “Let's choose the direction first. Don't generate media yet.”

Answer a question, then continue

When a question appears, select an option or type your own answer, then choose Confirm. Selecting an option alone does not continue the run. Skip continues without supplying that answer.

Agent clarification card asking which feeling Aurora should own, with Calm Studio selected, Sunny Coastal available, a custom-answer field, Skip and Confirm. — A real planning-only run: choose Calm Studio, then Confirm. The Agent returned a direction without generating another image.

Return to earlier work

Click the conversation title or back arrow at the top of chat to open Creative Runs, then choose the earlier conversation. Its messages and results reopen in the same workspace.

Creative Runs list with the completed planning conversation under Now and Aurora Coffee Launch Directions under Today. — The planning conversation and the earlier four-image launch brief are separate Creative Runs.

For a new brief, return to this list and write a new message. To continue an earlier brief, open its run first. Follow controls whether the canvas follows the Agent's work; it does not choose the source media.

For media work, check Ready on the result card and open the actual output. A finished reply or completed conversation is not a substitute for reviewing an image, playing a video or downloading a document.
