# Chat

The chat panel is where you direct Intangible agents. Tell them what you want to make in plain words, and they build the scene, place the cameras and render the shots.

You direct. Intangible agents get it made.

The chat panel sits in the bottom-right corner of the canvas and of Build, and it is your direct line to Intangible. Tell it what you want to make in plain words and attach your photos. Intangible's agents then work on your behalf: they write a brief, gather or generate the references, build the 3D scene, place the cameras, render the shots and pack the deliverables. You decide, and step in wherever you want to take over by hand.

## Your conversation on a project

Each person has their own conversation on a project. Teammates on the same project each have theirs. It stays the same when you switch scenes or move between the canvas and Build, it survives a page reload, and it is there again when you come back to the project later. Chats from before the canvas, which were kept one per scene, are still saved but don't show in the chat panel. The agents know which mode and scene you are in when you send a message. If they cannot tell which scene you mean, they ask.

Compose and Visualize have no chat panel. To have the agents move a camera, keyframe an object or render a shot, ask from the canvas or Build.

The conversation starts on Home: what you type in the prompt field there is your first message to the agents.

## What they do where

You ask from the canvas or Build. The work lands wherever it belongs.

| Work                                              | What to ask the agents for                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| The whole job, on the [canvas](/canvas/canvas.md) | Brief, references, models, scene, shots, renders, asset packs                 |
| [Build](/build/build.md) work                     | Environments, populators, roads and paths, adding, deleting or posing objects |
| [Compose](/compose/compose.md) work               | Camera moves, animated objects, a reel of shots                               |
| [Visualize](/visualize/visualize.md) work         | Keyframes and videos for your shots, a style or lighting preset               |

## Who does what

You do not address the agents one by one. You write in the one conversation, the agents split the job into steps and show them in the step list, and they report back in the same thread.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.intangible.ai/chat-agents-intangible/chat.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
