The creative workspace

Chat, Canvas, and nodes

Learn how intent, visible progress, creative units, and stored assets fit together.

Lesson 2 of 65 min

The creative workspace has two complementary views of the same work. Chat carries intent, decisions, and conversation. Canvas makes progress and output visible as connected nodes.

Chat explains why

Use the conversation to describe the objective, give feedback, make a choice, or ask for the next step. A good message changes the direction of the work; it does not merely restate what is already visible.

Canvas shows what exists

Nodes represent campaign or content units. They can hold text, media, intermediate work, status, and relationships to other nodes. The stored text or media beneath a node is the content asset.

Move between them deliberately

Start in Chat when you need reasoning, clarification, or a new direction. Move to Canvas when you need to compare, arrange, inspect, or continue from visible output.

The two surfaces should reinforce each other. Conversation without visible output becomes difficult to review. Canvas without context becomes a collection of disconnected assets.
