Apps

Apps give Agent specific capabilities. Some Apps generate images, retouch content, or edit video. Others connect Creative OS to Lark, Notion, Slack, and the tools your team already uses.

Agent understands the goal and context. An App performs a defined kind of work. This lets the same canvas use new creative tools and workspaces without repeatedly moving files or explaining the background.

How do Agent and Apps work together?

For a product ad:

1. Agent reads the goal and canvas nodes you provide.
2. The Lark App reads the specified meeting notes and client feedback.
3. Agent organizes the latest requirements and asks you to resolve conflicts.
4. An AI generation App creates static candidates.
5. A retouching App fixes product and image details.
6. A video editing App arranges the shots and output.
7. A work App sends the preview or canvas link back to the team.

Each App uses the context explicitly provided for the current work. The same product image, script, and brand requirements can continue across several Apps.

What kinds of Apps are available?

Type	What it does	Examples
Creative Apps	Generate or edit content on the canvas	AI generation, professional retouching, video editing
Work Apps	Read or sync material from a team workspace	Lark, Notion, Slack

Availability depends on the account, workspace, and product version. Use the list shown in the product as the source of truth.

How do you use an App?

1. Open Apps.
2. Choose the App needed for the task.
3. Complete account authorization if it connects to an external service.
4. Return to Agent and name both the App and the material it should use.
5. Review the source and planned action before running.

An App provides access and execution. You still define the account, source, time range, and expected output.

How do work Apps read material?

Meeting notes, briefs, brand guidelines, team discussions, and existing scripts can all become task input. After authorization, specify the exact document, channel, workspace, or time range.

Common work App tasks include:

• Extract client-approved decisions from specific meeting notes.
• Read brand guidelines and scripts from a Notion page.
• Summarize feedback from a Slack channel over a defined period.
• Send an approved preview, canvas link, or file back to the team.

Check the source and date after reading. Verify contracts, prices, deadlines, and publishing decisions in the original document.

How do you use creative Apps?

Select a product image, character, script, or previous result on the canvas, then ask Agent to call the appropriate App.

Before execution, check the inputs, output format, model, quantity, duration, and expected Tapies.

Creative Apps use only the inputs provided for the current task. When consistency matters, put the one approved standard on the canvas and reference it explicitly.

How can several Apps work in sequence?

Move through reviewable stages:

1. Read and organize the source material.
2. Confirm requirements and creative direction.
3. Generate a small number of static candidates.
4. Correct the subject and image details.
5. Create or edit the video.
6. Check the delivery files.
7. Sync to an external workspace only after approval.

Leave a reviewable node or file after each stage. If one stage is wrong, correct it there instead of rerunning the entire workflow.

What should you check before authorizing an App?

1. Which account or workspace is being connected.
2. Which read or action permissions the App requests.
3. Whether the data is appropriate for the current canvas.
4. Whether send, publish, or delete actions need manual confirmation.
5. Whether the connection should remain after the task.

Authorization defines what an App can reach. The task defines what it should use now.

What if Agent does not call the App?

• Name the App directly in the instruction.
• Check that the App is enabled and authorized.
• Confirm the account and workspace support it.
• Add the inputs the App needs to the canvas.
• Ask Agent which App it plans to call and why.

If several Apps can do similar work, compare their supported inputs, outputs, and expected spend first.

What if an App cannot read the content?

• Confirm that the connected account can access the original content.
• Check whether the source is in another workspace.
• Narrow the request to one document, channel, or page.
• Confirm that the referenced source is the latest version.
• If the App is not shown in the product, do not assume a planned capability is already available.

How do you know the right App was used?

• The listed sources match the task.
• The account, version, and time range are correct.
• A creative App used the specified canvas nodes.
• Output settings, quantity, and spend match the confirmation.
• External sync happened only at the approved destination.
• The result can be found on the canvas, in the sidebar panel, or in the external workspace.

How do you use Apps safely?

• Never paste passwords, keys, or payment details into a conversation.
• Keep manual confirmation for send, publish, delete, and overwrite actions.
• Check permissions before sharing a canvas that includes external material.
• Complete authorization before retrying an App that shows pending approval or no access.

Even when an App has permission, review the actual destination after any important action.
