Edit with AI

The app, prompt, and skill editors have an assistant built right in. Instead of describing a change in a separate chat and coming back, you describe it in the editor — and the assistant edits the very thing you’re looking at, with the editor and live preview updating in place. You never leave the page.

Where it lives: the Assistant tab

Each of these editors has a dock on the right that toggles between two tabs: [ Properties | Assistant ]. The Assistant tab is the entry point — there’s no separate button to find. Switch to it and you have a real chat, already pointed at the item you’re editing.

A real conversation

The Assistant tab is the same chat surface as the main chat — same models, same streaming — scoped to edit this one item.

Edits in place

Describe the change — “add a dark-mode toggle,” “tighten this prompt’s instructions” — and the assistant rewrites the item. The editor and live preview update to match.

Stay put

Flip to Properties to tweak a field by hand, back to Assistant to keep talking — same screen, same conversation, nothing torn down.

Which editors have it

The embedded Assistant dock is in the apps, prompts, and skills editors. Workflows don’t have it yet — the workflow editor still has an Edit with AI button that opens a regular chat session pointed at the workflow. See Create by chatting for that flow.

Using it

1. Open an app, prompt, or skill you own in its editor, and switch the right dock to the Assistant tab.

2. Describe the change in plain language. The assistant reads the current item, makes a targeted edit, and saves it.

3. Watch the editor and the live preview update in place — same item, now changed. Keep going if it’s not quite right: it’s a conversation, so refine until it’s what you want.

Your unsaved edits are safe

Before each turn you take, the assistant auto-saves your current draft — so it always works on your live content, including hand-edits you haven’t explicitly saved yet. You won’t have the assistant accidentally working from a stale copy, and you won’t lose the typing you did just before asking.

Every edit the assistant makes is also captured in version history as an Assistant version — so you can always see exactly what it changed, and restore past it if you don’t like it. Editing with AI is never a one-way door.

Owner-only

You can use the Assistant to edit only items you own — saving the change requires ownership. On a public or shared prompt or skill that isn’t yours, the editor is read-only and the Assistant tab is unavailable. Make a copy you own first if you want to AI-edit it.

Past AI-edit chats: the Chats menu

Each item keeps its own AI-edit conversations. They’re listed in the Chats menu in the Assistant dock, scoped to this item — so they don’t clutter the recents in your main chat sidebar.

• Pick a past chat to reopen its transcript and see what was discussed. Reopening just shows the conversation; it doesn’t re-apply old edits to your current content — only new messages you send drive new changes.
• Start a new chat for a fresh conversation about the same item when the current thread has wandered.

Tip

Because each item’s edit chats are kept with the item, you can come back weeks later, open the editor, and find the exact conversation where you last shaped it — without digging through your global chat history.
