If you don't have one yet, sign up at [agent.creao.ai](https://agent.creao.ai). ## Your first session After signing in, you land on the chat page. The sidebar shows navigation (Feed, Agents, Workspaces, Files), your recent threads, and the **Agent Brain** section where you can manage skills and connectors. You can optionally select or create a workspace from the sidebar to organize your conversations, but it's not required to get started. Chat page showing the sidebar navigation, greeting, suggestion pills, and chat input Type a request in the chat input at the bottom of the screen. For example: ``` Create a simple HTML todo app with add, complete, and delete functionality ``` Press **Enter** or click the send button. The agent starts streaming its response in real time. Chat page with a todo app request typed in the input bar You can also click one of the suggestion pills — **Automate**, **Write**, **Analyze**, **Build**, or **Strategize** — to start with a guided prompt. The agent executes your request step by step. You'll see: * **Thinking indicator** — animated dots while the agent processes your request * **Status updates** — messages like "Starting sandbox..." or "Running agent..." * **Tool execution** — each tool call and its output stream in real time * **Artifact panel** — generated files (HTML, SVG, PDF) open in an interactive preview on the right side Chat showing user message and the agent's Running agent thinking indicator You can click the **Stop** button (red square) at any time to interrupt the agent. When the agent generates an HTML file, it opens automatically in the artifact preview panel. The result appears as a split view — chat on the left, interactive preview on the right. Split view with chat response on the left and a rendered todo app preview on the right The preview is fully interactive — you can click buttons, fill forms, check boxes, and test the app directly in the panel. Todo app preview with Buy groceries checked off and Read a book being typed You can also switch to **Code** view to see the source: Artifact panel in Code view showing the todo app's JavaScript source with line numbers Other actions available in the panel header: * **Download** — save the file locally * **Copy** — grab the source code to clipboard * **Share** — generate a shareable link to the conversation * **Close** — dismiss the panel Send follow-up messages to refine the result: ``` Add a dark mode toggle and localStorage persistence ``` The agent builds on the previous context and generates an updated artifact. You can also queue follow-up messages while the agent is still working — they'll be processed in order. When you're happy with the result, click **Create Agent** in the chat input bar. The super agent extracts the workflow into a reusable agent with: * A structured input form * The skill that powers execution * Version history for every iteration Your team can now run this agent repeatedly with different inputs from the **Agents** page in the sidebar. ## Next steps Learn about file uploads, @ mentions, voice input, message queue, and more.
