Work, Design and the canvas

AyCode is not only for code. In Work and Design the agent creates documents, slides, posters and pages, and you watch them grow on the canvas.

Code, Work and Design

Pick the mode on the start screen or switch it in a chat’s header. In Work (AyWork) and Design (AyDesign) the agent saves its results in .aycode/artifacts/ inside the project.

The canvas

Fig. 1 The canvas shows a poster while the agent writes it, with versions and before/after.
  • Results appear live while the agent writes, with every version kept.
  • Compare Vorher and Nachher (before/after), zoom, and show it in a device frame.
  • Export as SVG, HTML, Markdown, PNG or PDF.
  • Put comment pins on the draft; they go along with your next message.

The agent browser

When an agent works on a web app, a browser opens in the right sidebar, only then. A small pill shows the page and what the agent is doing; the cursor outlines what it is about to click. Übernehmen hands the page to you until you press Weiter.

Markieren (mark) turns your clicks into numbered marks instead of clicks. The agent reads them, and In den Chat writes them into your message: “make 3 bigger, remove 5”.

AppShot

First enable AppShot under Settings → AppShot. The capture becomes a chat attachment; review its preview before sending the message.

On the Mac, AppShot captures the window in front as an image plus its text, including text scrolled out of view. Press both ⌘ keys, both ⌥ keys, or ⌘⇧2.

On Windows from 7.4.6, switch to the window you want and press Ctrl+Shift+2. AppShot captures an image of that foreground window only, without accessibility text. Some apps do not allow window capture. AppShot is unavailable on Linux.

The Island

On the Mac a black capsule sits around the notch and shows which chats are working or waiting. Hover it for a list, click to open a chat; it briefly announces finished ones. Choose when it shows under Settings → Island.
