# Composer

_LOFTai › Overview_

## Overview

Composer is a conversation-built canvas for personal dashboards and views. Rather than dragging widgets, you tell the Assistant what you want to see and it renders the layout — Composer is where the Assistant's "build a view" results appear.

## Building a View

Start from an empty canvas and describe what you want — e.g. "show me all shots grouped by sequence with their latest render." The Assistant responds with a renderable layout that fills the canvas.

## Live Data

A card holds the _question_ it was built from, not a copy of the answer. The rows are fetched when the view renders, so a saved view opened next week shows next week's data — a dashboard of "this week's submissions" keeps meaning this week. Rearranging a view doesn't re-run anything, so layout changes are immediate.

## Toolbar

-   Save As — persist the current layout under a name
-   Load — open a previously saved view
-   Clear — reset the canvas

Tip: Saved views are addressable by code and name in the URL, so you can bookmark a Composer layout or share it with a teammate. Because the data is fetched fresh each time, the person you share it with sees their own current picture.
