About the Agent & Assistant category

Agent & Assistant

Think of this category as your studio for mastering the craft of AI collaboration - whether you’re learning the subtle art of prompt engineering, discovering clever ways to break down complex problems, or figuring out the rhythm of when to use Agent vs Assistant.

Important Note About Common Challenges

If the agent gets stuck in a loop or isn’t producing the results you want, remember:

  • Start a new chat session to refresh the Agent’s context
  • Use the Rollback feature when something breaks (don’t ask the Agent to “undo” changes!)
  • Switch to the Assistant to break down complex problems into smaller steps
  • Change your approach or try different prompting patterns

Remember: True software bugs (crashes, errors, unexpected behavior) belong in the Bugs category. This category is for discussing and improving how we work with these AI tools.

If you built something cool with the agent, share it in the Showcase!
