Agent tab

The Agent tab is the heart of the workbench. It's where you talk to your Agent in plain language, kick off tasks, and watch the work unfold step by step — every message, tool call, and file the Agent produces.

Send a task

Type what you want in the input box and press Enter. You can also:

• Attach files — drag and drop, or click the attachment icon to add reference material
• Switch models — pick the model for this Agent from the toolbar selector
• Open the task dialog — press Cmd+K to start a structured task

The Agent reads its instructions, gets to work in its cloud computer, and streams the result back to you.

Watch the work happen

While a task runs, the chat shows you everything in real time:

• Streaming text — the Agent's reasoning and replies appear as they're generated
• Tool calls — each action (reading a file, running a command, searching the web) is shown inline; click one to expand its full input and output
• Artifacts — files, code, and documents the Agent generates open automatically in a side panel where you can preview, edit, or open them in Files
• Diffs — when the Agent edits existing files, you can review the before/after changes before they're committed in Git

Sessions

Each conversation is a session — fully isolated, with its own history, artifacts, and tool calls. Use the session selector to start a new one or resume a past one. Nothing from one session bleeds into another.

• Start a session — click New Session or the + icon
• Resume — pick any session from the list
• Rename / delete — hover a session and use the pencil or trash icon

Group related sessions under a project to keep long-running work organized.
