Agents on the canvas
Your agents work from a bottom sheet with peek, half and full heights. Each thread is one agent you picked, with its own conversation and its own cursor on the board.

The agent sheet rises from the bottom of the board, so the board stays in view on every screen size.
Three heights
| Height | What you see |
|---|---|
| Peek | A 70px dock: the grip, a Pythe orb, a one-line status, and every hired agent’s face. A green signal means the agent needs you; blue means it has finished. There is no input in the dock. |
| Half | Your threads and the composer. |
| Full | The whole sheet, leaving room for the toolbar. |
Drag the grip, flick it, tap it, or use the arrow keys on it. The sheet settles on the nearest height in the direction you threw it. On wide screens it opens at half; on small screens at peek. Your last height is remembered.
Threads and agents
- Start a thread by picking its agent. The first is Pytheus; the next are the teammates you have already hired, under their own names; then the roles nobody holds yet under their default names.
- Each agent brings its mascot and colour, so the cursor on the board, the tab in the sheet and the reply all read as the same person.
- Agents move a cursor over the board as they work, and cards they write glow briefly.
- A thread can use Agent mode (it edits the board) or Chat mode (it only talks).
Model tier
| Tier | Best for |
|---|---|
| Auto | Routes by how big the ask is. The default. |
| Fast | Quick edits and single cards. |
| Balanced | Multi-card builds with structure. |
| Deep | Whole boards, branching and strategy. |
The picker shows how much time and credit each tier spends. Pick Deep so a whole-board build is not rushed, and Fast so a one-line tweak is not overthought.
Asking you
When an agent needs a decision it posts an ask card in the thread instead of guessing. The dock shows it as “needs you”.
