Artifacts

An artifact is a long piece of text the chat assistant created and saved for you. Think drafts, plans, meeting notes, summaries — anything you’d want to keep around rather than scroll back through the conversation to find.

When the assistant generates something substantial — a draft email, a trip plan, a research summary — it can call its create_artifact tool to save the content as its own object. The artifact has a title, a content body, and a type. It lives separately from the conversation that produced it, so you can find and reuse it later.

You can:

  • Open an artifact from the chat reply or from the artifacts list in the More tab.
  • Edit an artifact’s title or content by hand.
  • Save it as a document. This promotes the artifact into your Moonjar library — it gets classified, indexed, and searchable like anything else you’ve captured. Same pipeline as capturing a note.
  • Delete an artifact.

The chat conversation is for back-and-forth. Artifacts are for the output you want to keep: a polished version of something the assistant generated. Keeping it as an artifact (or promoting it to a document) means it doesn’t get buried as the conversation grows or when you start a new chat.

  • The assistant decides whether to make an artifact. You can ask for one explicitly — “save this as an artifact” — and it will.
  • Editing an artifact updates the artifact, not the chat. The reply in the conversation remains the version the assistant originally wrote.
  • Artifacts are private to you. To share, save the artifact as a document and share the document with a group.
