Artifacts

What it is

An artifact is a substantial piece of content the assistant produces in a conversation — a document, a spreadsheet, a chart, a small interactive page, or a block of code. Hub treats artifacts as first-class objects so they can be opened in their own viewer instead of being squashed into a chat bubble.

When you'll see one

You'll see an artifact whenever you ask the assistant in Ask Anything for something larger than a short reply. Examples:

  • "Build me a pricing one-pager I can share with a client" → an HTML or document artifact
  • "Pull last quarter's contributions into a spreadsheet" → a spreadsheet artifact
  • "Sketch a small dashboard that tracks my open tasks" → an interactive artifact

Where to find it

Artifacts appear inline as a card in the conversation that produced them. Click the card to open the artifact in a wider split view, with the conversation on one side and the rendered artifact on the other. Switch the Ask Anything panel to Wide mode for a roomier reading area.

How it works

Inline cards. Each artifact shows up as a card inside the conversation, with an icon for its type and a short title. The card stays in the conversation history so you can come back to it later.

Split view. Clicking the card opens it next to the conversation. You can keep chatting with the assistant while the artifact is open — useful for asking follow-up questions or requesting changes.

Spreadsheet artifacts. When the assistant returns tabular data, you get an interactive spreadsheet you can scroll, edit, and reshape inline. Use the Download button in the artifact toolbar to save it as a CSV file you can open in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

Downloading other types. Documents and code artifacts also have a Download button that saves the content with the right extension (.html, .md, .txt).

Re-opening. Reopen any saved Conversation to find the artifacts it produced — they live with the conversation, not in a separate library.
