π Canvas: Collaborative Document Editingβ
Canvas is a powerful feature within Agentic Tooling that enables real-time collaboration between you and your AI agent on documents.
How Canvas Worksβ
Think of Canvas as a shared workspace where you and your agent can work together on the same document:
You MUST create a Canvas document first - This is not optional. Click the action button at the bottom right of the Chat input section to create a new Canvas document before the agent can begin working with you.
Create a Canvas (REQUIRED) - You must first create a Canvas document using the UI action button
The agent assists - Your agent can then make intelligent adjustments to your document by:
- Creating new paragraphs
- Modifying existing content
- Deleting unnecessary sections
- Reorganizing structure
Real-time collaboration - Both you and the agent can make changes:
- You can edit before the agent starts working
- You can review and modify after the agent completes its changes
- The agent works recursively, refining the document based on your instructions
π§ Knowledge Hub Integrationβ
Canvas documents can be integrated into your Knowledge Hub, making them part of your workspace knowledge base! This means:
- Your Canvas documents become searchable resources for all agents
- They can be used in RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) workloads
- Build a growing library of collaborative documents that enhance your AI's understanding
Best Practicesβ
- Minimize conflicts - Try to limit your edits while the agent is actively working on the document
- Clear instructions - Give your agent specific guidance about what changes you want
- Save to Knowledge Hub - Consider adding completed Canvas documents to your Knowledge Hub for future reference
Export Optionsβ
Once you're satisfied with your document, Canvas offers flexible export options:
- π Markdown - For technical documentation and web content
- π DOCX - For Word documents and formal reports
- π PDF - For final, shareable versions
Canvas transforms document creation from a solitary task into a collaborative process, where AI doesn't just suggest changes but actively helps you build better content.
π Autonomous Task Scheduling: Beyond Remindersβ
One of the most powerful aspects of Agentic Tooling is the ability for agents to schedule future tasks autonomously, transforming how we think about long-term planning and execution.
From Reminders to Autonomous Planningβ
While traditional reminder systems simply notify you to do something, agentic task scheduling enables agents to:
- Self-instruct for future execution - Agents can leave detailed instructions for themselves
- Plan multi-step workflows - Schedule complex sequences of actions across time
- Adapt based on future context - Make decisions when the scheduled time arrives
Task scheduling through Jobs is available for Business and Enterprise subscriptions.
Example: Beyond Simple Email Remindersβ
Traditional Reminder:
"Remind me to send a project update email in 2 weeks"
Result: You get a notification in 2 weeks to manually compose and send an email
Agentic Task Scheduling:
"In 2 weeks, analyze the current project status across all active tasks,
review recent team communications, identify key accomplishments and
blockers, then compose and send a comprehensive project update email
to stakeholders with actionable insights."
Result: The agent autonomously executes this entire workflow in 2 weeks, making real-time decisions based on current data
Real-World Applicationsβ
Long-term Business Intelligence:
- Schedule quarterly market analysis reports that adapt to current trends
- Plan annual compliance reviews that adjust scope based on regulatory changes
- Set up dynamic competitor monitoring that evolves with market conditions
Adaptive Content Strategies:
- Schedule content creation that responds to trending topics
- Plan marketing campaigns that adjust messaging based on current events
- Create educational content series that builds on previous engagement
Proactive System Management:
- Schedule performance optimization reviews that adapt to current system load
- Plan security audits that focus on recently identified threat vectors
- Set up maintenance tasks that adjust based on current system health
The Paradigm Shift: From Reactive to Proactive AIβ
Traditional scheduling systems require you to define exactly what happens when. Agentic task scheduling enables:
- Context-aware execution - Decisions made based on conditions at execution time
- Self-modifying workflows - Agents can adjust their own future tasks based on results
- Intelligent priority management - Agents can reschedule or modify tasks based on changing circumstances
- Continuous learning loops - Each execution informs and improves future scheduled tasks
This represents a fundamental shift from "do this at this time" to "achieve this goal by this time using whatever approach works best given current conditions."
Managing Scheduled Tasksβ
All tasks scheduled by your agents can be reviewed, monitored, and managed through the Jobs section in your settings:
- Review scheduled tasks - See all upcoming agent-scheduled activities
- Monitor execution results - Track success rates and outputs in External chats
- Modify schedules - Adjust timing or disable tasks as needed
- Delete obsolete tasks - Clean up completed or unnecessary scheduled activities
This central management ensures you maintain full visibility and control over your agents' autonomous planning activities.
With agentic tooling, you're not just automating tasksβyou're empowering AI to think, adapt, and deliver results that would be impossible with traditional workflows. Experience the future of AI assistance today!
