The Agent Dock is a chat panel on the right side of the canvas. It hosts three agent personas that can read the board, take actions on it, and run multi-step workflows for you.
Open it
Click Open AI agents on the right edge of the canvas (the small floating button just above the bottom-right corner). The dock slides in.
The button is always present; the dock toggles open and closed.
What the dock can see
By default the dock has access to:
- Selected elements — whatever is highlighted on the canvas.
- Mentioned elements — anything you
@-reference in a message. - Current board context — the name of the board and the current view (Canvas, Editor, or Mockups).
The dock does not scan the whole board unless you ask it to. Privacy and token cost both stay manageable.
Which model
The Model picker at the top chooses the LLM. The picker shows every chat model unlocked by your configured keys — GPT, Claude, Gemini. The Pro license unlocks the GLAI model bundle as a managed option.
Which agent
The Agent dropdown picks the persona. The dock offers three:
| Agent | Best for |
|---|---|
| Chat Agent | Improve image / video prompts using references |
| Board Agent | Multi-step board actions — place media, group, build video projects, rewrite an HTML card’s contents |
| Terminal | Drive a coding-agent CLI wired to the board (GLAI) |
The dropdown title also flips the body of the dock to match the persona (Board Agent shows action controls; Terminal opens a shell pane).
Send and stop
Type your message, click Send, or press Cmd / Ctrl-Enter. While the agent is running, the Send button turns into Stop.
Voice input is available via the microphone icon — see Voice Input.
Actions and approvals
The Board Agent can perform real edits. Each proposed edit (move element, create frame, generate image, render video) is shown as a card with Apply and Reject buttons. Nothing happens to the canvas without your confirmation, unless you enable auto-apply for the session.
