Working with Artifacts
Artifacts are the primary output of the platform, representing generated content and research results. This guide covers how to create, manage, and use artifacts effectively.
Artifact Types
The platform supports several artifact types:
- Documents
- Research reports
- Blog posts
- Operational guides
-
Email drafts
-
Data
- Research findings
- Web scraping results
-
Structured data sets
-
Media
- Images
- Videos
-
Audio files
-
Code
- Scripts
- Configuration files
- Templates
Artifact Lifecycle
- Creation
- Generated by agents during task execution
- Created manually through the artifact editor
-
Imported from external sources
-
Storage
- Stored in the vector database
- Version controlled
-
Searchable by content and metadata
-
Usage
- Attached to tasks and projects
- Referenced in conversations
-
Used as input for other tasks
-
Management
- Edit and update content
- Add metadata and tags
- Delete when no longer needed
Creating Artifacts
Automatic Creation
Artifacts are automatically created when: - Research tasks complete - Documents are generated - Data is collected
Example:
[Research Agent] I've completed the research. Here's the report:
[Attached: Research Report - AI Trends 2025]
Manual Creation
- Open the Artifacts panel
- Click the "+" button
- Fill in the artifact details:
- Type (document, data, media, code)
- Title
- Content
- Metadata
- Save the artifact
Managing Artifacts

Best Practices
- Organize with Metadata
- Add relevant tags
- Include project and task references
-
Set expiration dates for temporary artifacts
-
Version Control
- Create new versions instead of overwriting
- Add version notes
-
Reference previous versions when needed
-
Reuse Artifacts
- Reference existing artifacts in new tasks
- Use templates for common document types
-
Share artifacts across projects
-
Security
- Mark sensitive artifacts as private
- Set appropriate access controls
- Regularly review artifact permissions
Example Workflow
-
Research task completes:
[Research Agent] Research complete. Created artifact: AI Trends Report

Review artifact:
- Open Artifacts panel
- Search for "AI Trends Report"
-
Review content and metadata
-
Use artifact:
- Attach to project documentation
- Reference in conversations
-
Use as input for content generation
-
Update artifact:
