# Creative Agent Develop an idea through conversation, with assets, a canvas and direct creation in the same project. Source: https://www.creativly.ai/docs/agent/overview ![Creative Agent public example with Assets, Canvas and Image / Video tabs, three Nano Banana 2 images and a conversation showing a Ready 3/3 image set.](https://cdn.creativly.ai/public-app-sessions/v1/documentation/ui-creative-agent-20261019-9ceb6b7026c29530.webp) The current Creative Agent with a saved public conversation and three ready example images. No new generation was submitted for this screenshot. ## Start with your idea Open **Creative Agent** in the sidebar. Sign in and choose your project to work on your own brief. You can also start from Home: choose an example, edit its prompt or reference, and select **Create** to carry that starting point into the Agent composer. Review the prompt and references before sending. ```text Help me develop three launch-image directions for a small coffee brand. Keep the cobalt-blue ceramic cup consistent, use warm natural light, and make each direction a separate landscape image. Start by suggesting the visual directions. ``` Use **Assets** to inspect the project's media, **Canvas** to arrange the work, and **Image / Video** for direct creation controls. **Chat** keeps your brief and follow-ups beside the results. Attach a reference or mention an asset when a follow-up depends on a particular source. Read the result card's status and inspect the output. The saved public example above is now **Ready 3/3**; its earlier reply still mentions one image processing. A reply can arrive before all generation work finishes.

They retain real completed media and downloadable files, but their layout, skills and connection controls differ from the current Creative Agent. Use the section above for today's entry point. ![Light-mode Agent canvas with four blue-cup campaign concepts, a Markdown captions note, PowerPoint, Word and PDF file cards, and the natural request with four Ready image results.](https://cdn.creativly.ai/public-app-sessions/v1/documentation/agent-concepts-workspace-f76b2e009ed6680a.webp) One campaign workspace: four visual directions, captions, and a launch pack. The conversation stays beside the work. In this recorded example, a natural brief and source files were used to develop a campaign across the earlier workspace. ## Explore a direction > I'd love four different launch images for Aurora, our little coffee brand. Keep the cobalt-blue ceramic cup in all four, but try a sunny coastal breakfast, a sculptural studio still life, a rainy café window, and a quiet outdoor terrace. Use Nano Banana 2, landscape 16:9, and make four separate images rather than a collage. No lettering. Start with a concept, not a list of commands. Bring references, ask for distinct directions, and arrange the results into a moodboard. Say what should stay consistent and what the Agent can explore.

You can ask for a new background, an ad with a headline, a different video treatment, or copy to go with the images.

Ask for a **PowerPoint** of the chosen directions, a **Word or PDF brief**, and a **Markdown checklist**. Keep sticky notes beside the work for reminders and feedback. In this campaign, the Agent reused the four existing images to create a four-slide deck, a one-page brief in Word and PDF, and a launch checklist. The file cards in the overview are those actual outputs—not new image generations.

Select an item to see its available actions. * **Chat** is where you make requests, answer questions, and review results. * **Creative Runs** lets you return to an earlier conversation or start another brief. The model at the top of chat runs the assistant. The media model—such as **Nano Banana 2**—is shown on the generation card. These are separate choices.

Wait for its result card to show **Ready**, then open the image or play the video. Download from the asset when you need the file. If a run shows an error, do not assume it produced the requested output. Check the canvas and the run's status before trying again.
