Orient yourself in the sidebar

  • New Chat: start a fresh conversation.
  • Search Chats: find a past conversation.
  • Artifacts: a library of everything your chats have produced, filterable by Slides, Websites, Documents, Sheets, Images, and Audio & Video.
  • Startup: the website builder. Describe a game, 2D or 3D site, or landing page and publish it.
  • Integrations: connect your tools.
  • Knowledge: your team’s files and data, which you can use in chats.
  • Projects and Recents: your saved work and chat history.

​
Modes: presets on the same chat

The pills below the prompt box (Create Slides, Startup, AI Images, AI Sheets, AI Docs, and under More: Video Editor, AI Videos, AI Explainer, Graphs, AI Music, Deep Research, AI Resumes, Plan Trips, Motion Design, AI Contracts, Chat, AI Ads) mostly aren’t separate tools. Each one (other than Startup) is the same chat framework on its own sub-route, with a mode-specific composer hint and starter prompts. AI Images and AI Videos go further, with their own controls and template galleries. See Start from a preset.

Startup is the exception. Clicking the Startup pill opens the separate website builder, with its own Build composer, rather than a chat preset.

​
Two controls that shape every task

Every prompt bar has two controls worth understanding before you run anything.

​
Model tier

Model tier dropdown open below the prompt box, showing Flash, Pro, and Ultra with their descriptions
  • Flash — fast and efficient for everyday tasks, quick ideas, and lightweight problem-solving.
  • Pro — more power for deeper research, bigger workflows, and multi-step tasks that need extra capacity.
  • Ultra — maximum intelligence for your most complex, high-stakes, end-to-end work.

​
Ask permission

Plus menu in the prompt box showing Upload Photos & Files, Web search, Personalization, Ask permission, and Use commands
Click + in the prompt box to find the Ask permission toggle, alongside Upload Photos & Files, Web search, Personalization, and Use commands.
  • Off (default): the agent runs without stopping, with full access to create, edit, or run intensive actions.
  • On: the agent is meant to ask before creating or editing artifacts.
In earlier testing, the approval setting did not actually pause a full research run at any point, including at the report-writing step. Don’t rely on it as a safety gate. Treat every run as if it will continue without stopping.

​
Start from a preset in AI Images and AI Videos

The AI Images and AI Videos homes let you start from a ready-made look instead of a blank prompt. Open them from the AI Images pill, or from More > AI Videos.

Set up your generation

Below the prompt box, four dropdowns control the output:
  • Model: pick a model, or Auto in AI Images to let Computer choose.
  • Settings: in AI Images, set Quality (1K, 2K, 4K), Aspect Ratio, and Variations (1, 2, or 4). In AI Videos, set Quality (480p, 720p, 1080p), Aspect Ratio, and Duration.
  • Style: apply a visual preset. AI Images includes 20 styles, such as Photorealistic, Anime, Cinematic, Ghibli, Pixel Art, and Watercolor.
  • Camera: choose a camera angle. AI Images offers Birdseye, Dutch, Low Hero, Medium, and Wide.

Pick a template

Browse Featured Templates, or filter the Templates gallery by category. Hover a template and click Use Template.

Add your input and create

The template opens in its own window with example results, a prompt that’s already written for you, and the inputs it needs. For example, Product Shots asks you to Add Product, lets you change the Style Reference, and has controls for the number of images, aspect ratio, and quality. Edit the prompt if you like, then click the create button (for example, Create Product Shot).

The AI Videos home works the same way, with video models, video settings, and video templates such as AI Ads, Viral Videos, Cinematic Shot, Product Demo, UGC, Music Video, and Fashion Film.
