Chat companion

Every project has a chat companion that can see and edit the canvas. It’s the fastest way to scaffold a pipeline or make a batch of mechanical edits. Open it with the AI button in the canvas’s bottom-right corner — you can also pick which model powers it.

What it can do

Ask it, in plain language, to:

• Build graphs — “Add a text prompt, an LLM to expand it, and an image gen using Nano Banana Pro, wired in that order.”
• Edit what’s there — “Set every video node to 16:9 and 8 seconds.”
• Run things — “Run the storyboard chain and show me the frames.”
• Work with results — “Regenerate images 3 and 7 of the collection with warmer lighting.”

One sentence in, a wired node out — here the companion adds an Upscaler, wires it to the Image Gen, and tidies the layout:

The companion works with the same graph you see — its changes appear live on the canvas, and nothing it does is special: you can always adjust or undo by hand. It’s also where library @-tags shine: mention @brand_look and the full style description lands verbatim in the prompt it writes.

Its replies show the craft, not just the result — here it has built a styled image node with a reference attached, explained why it described the subject explicitly, and suggested the next variant:

Tips

• Point at things by name. Node labels and asset names are how the companion finds targets; “the second image input” works, “that one” usually doesn’t.
• Let it wire, you refine. Scaffolding a five-node pipeline is one sentence; getting the prompt exactly right is still your craft.
• Use Tidy after big edits. A batch of chat-added nodes lands functional but dense — one Tidy makes it readable.
