Agent

AI Features /Agent

Use the Agent to add items, generate media, and refine your board.

The Agent works directly on your open board. Ask for what you want in plain language, and it adds cards, notes, images, audio narration, video, and music for you. It works in both Credits and Provider Mode, with different tool availability.

Attachments

Give the Agent a file to work from. Tap the paperclip button next to the message field, choose one or more files, then type your request. Attached files appear above the message field with their size; tap the x on a file to remove it before sending.

Supported files: PDF, PNG, JPEG, WebP, plain text, Markdown (.md), CSV, and JSON.

  • Attachments are sent with the next message only. If a later request needs the same file, attach it again.
  • The paperclip is unavailable while the Agent is responding, and in Credits mode until you sign in.
  • In Credits mode, requests to generate an image, narration, or music can’t use attachments yet. Remove the attachments and send the request again, or use Provider Mode.
  • Attachments are sent to the AI provider along with your message. In Credits mode, large documents can raise the cost of a request. See Credits.

Audio vs Music in the Agent

Use clear wording so AI picks the right tool:

If you wantAsk with terms like
Spoken narration“audio narration”, “read this aloud”, “voiceover”, “text to speech”
Songs or tracks“music”, “song”, “beat”, “ditty”, “instrumental”

Tip: Include duration and style in the same prompt, for example: “Create a 30-second instrumental ambient track.”
