Assistant

The Assistant is a conversational production agent scoped to the current project. It can answer questions, find and search assets, run queries, build dashboards in Composer, generate content, and take multi-step actions across the production. Open it from the Assistant button in the header — it appears as a resizable side panel so you can keep working alongside it.

• Find content — "show me every shot still missing a final render"
• Build views — "build a dashboard of this week's submissions" (renders into Composer)
• Investigate — "what's the cost breakdown for shot SH010 this month?"
• Generate — "generate a wide establishing shot of the city at dusk"
• Take action — bulk updates and deletes (subject to the confirmation thresholds in Project Settings)

Above the input sits the context tray — the assets and files the Assistant is currently working with, plus any files you've attached to this conversation. Click the box icon to open the Pinned Items list and review everything at once. Pins are useful outside the Assistant too: the file browser toolbar can pin a selection and open the same list, and the generation input picker has a Pinned pill that lists them for binding as references.

• Click a file chip to open that file in the file browser, with its detail view already open
• Click the folder icon on a file chip to jump to the folder that contains it instead
• Click an asset chip to open the asset
• Click × to drop something from context; attachments are removed the same way
• Click the @ badge on a thumbnail in the context manager — or an attachment's thumbnail in the tray — to drop that file's name into your message, so you can point the Assistant at one item by name
