Chat Assistant

The Runnit chat assistant can answer questions, inspect work you can access, find assets, and generate or edit media. Open it from the Chat icon in the global header.

Chat from the current page

Section titled “Chat from the current page”

The side panel starts with the page you opened it from, and it keeps tracking the page as you navigate: each message you send carries what is currently on screen. When the page shows a specific item, such as a brief in Brief Builder, a project, a client, or a task, the assistant reads that item (within your access) before answering. You can ask “what is the budget in this brief?” or “what is at risk?” without restating where you are, and the answer follows the page you are on, not the page where the conversation started.

The assistant also resolves vague references itself instead of asking you to be more specific. Asking for “the latest Aurora project” looks up your projects and picks the most recent match. When several items genuinely match, it asks one question that lists the real candidates so you can reply with a name or number.

The chat stays mounted as you navigate. Use the controls at the top to:

  • start a new conversation;
  • expand the current conversation into the full chat workspace; or
  • close the panel and return to it later.

While a request is running, the panel shows a progress message. A response is only presented as complete after the assistant has either performed the needed action or returned the result it already has; it does not intentionally leave a request at “I’ll check that now”.

Assets and generated media

Section titled “Assets and generated media”

The assistant grounds asset answers in actual search results. It only links to files returned from your accessible library and shows generated images or video from real generation results. Media created earlier in the same conversation can be used again, for example, ask it to animate or edit the image it just made.

If a generation fails or no generation tool runs, the assistant reports that instead of claiming a file exists. See Asset Search & Intelligence for indexing and filters.

Submit product feedback

Section titled “Submit product feedback”

You can report a bug, request a feature, or send an improvement from chat:

  1. Describe the issue or request and ask the assistant to submit it.
  2. Review the draft title, category, body, and acceptance criteria.
  3. Explicitly confirm that you want it sent.
  4. Wait for the assistant to confirm that submission succeeded.

Runnit includes your name, email, role, organisation, and current page so the engineering team can understand the report. It does not send at the draft stage, and it does not claim the report was submitted unless the submission completed.
