Notes and artifacts: where longer answers go

Pinchy’s chat bubble is small on purpose. Anything longer than a few sentences goes into a note on your desktop, and anything visual or substantial becomes an artifact you can open, change and keep.

What to ask for

• “Put my shopping list in a note.” A note window appears on your desktop.
• “Give me the commands to set this up.” You get a note with the commands in code blocks; each block has its own copy button.
• “Make me a small page with a five-minute timer.” An artifact: it opens in its own viewer.
• “Make the timer ten minutes instead.” He updates the same artifact; the earlier version is kept.
• “Show me that screenshot again.” He opens the picture in a window.

How it works

• Notes: text in a note can be selected and copied like any text. A whole section or a single code block can be copied with one click. Dragging the note moves it; dragging over text selects it.
• Artifacts: pages, mini apps, diagrams, reports, tables and code files. Each opens in a sandboxed viewer and keeps its versions, so “change it” never loses what was there before.
• Files a job made (a Work run, a swarm, a plain chat reply that wrote a file) are attached in the chat as cards you can open.

Settings

• Settings → Pinchy → Notifications: how notes and results are shown.
• Settings → Agents & automation → Agents: open long results as a note window.
• Settings → Pinchy → Look & behaviour: how he behaves on your desktop.

Limits

• An artifact page is self-contained and cannot reach the internet from its viewer.
• Notes are for reading and copying. For a document you want to keep editing, ask for a file (Work mode makes real documents).
