Artifacts

Artifacts are structured outputs produced by Assistant during a conversation or workflow. They appear in a panel alongside the chat and can be downloaded, versioned, and—for documents—edited inline.

Types of Artifacts

Documents

Markdown documents are rich text outputs. Assistant produces these when asked to summarize findings, write a report, fill out a checklist, or produce any structured written output. Documents can be edited after generation and exported as Word or PDF.

Tables

Tables are structured data outputs with rows and columns. Assistant produces these when asked to compare items, extract information across multiple files, or produce a results matrix—for example, a submittal compliance table or a code check results list. Tables can be exported as Excel or JSON.

Drawing Review

Drawing review is a specialized artifact produced by drawing review workflows. When Assistant checks a set of engineering drawings against a standard or checklist, it produces an annotated PDF with issues marked directly on the drawing pages, alongside a table summarizing each finding. The annotated PDF can be downloaded via the Export button in the artifact panel.

Viewing Artifacts

When Assistant produces an artifact, it opens in the artifact panel on the right side of the screen. You can also access artifacts from the conversation by clicking the artifact link in the message.

The artifact panel shows the full content—rendered markdown for documents, or an interactive table for tables.

Version History

Every time Assistant updates an artifact, a new version is saved. Click the clock icon in the artifact panel header to see all versions. Click any version to view it. The current version is shown by default.

Downloading Artifacts

Click the download icon in the artifact panel header to export the artifact.

Artifact typeExport options

Editing Documents

Markdown document artifacts can be edited inline from workflow pages. Open the artifact and click Edit (or navigate to the document from the workflow detail page) to open the full editor.

The editor supports:

  • Bold, italic, and heading formatting
  • Bullet and numbered lists
  • Task lists (checkboxes)
  • Inline name editing — click the document title to rename it

Click Save to create a new version. Each save is preserved in the version history.

Tables are read-only and cannot be edited directly.

Artifacts in Workflows

Workflows can include pre-created artifacts that serve as output containers. For example, a submittal review workflow might include a blank compliance table that Assistant fills in as it reviews each item.

You can configure seeded artifacts in the Workflow Builder under Working Artifacts. See Workflows for details.
