Presentations and diagrams
Ask an agent for a deck or a diagram and you get an editable artifact in the chat, not a flat image. Both export, and diagrams have a canvas you can draw on.
Two of the things an agent makes are worth knowing about on their own, because neither is a picture. A presentation and a diagram both arrive in the chat as something you can open, change, and send onward.
Presentations
Ask an agent for a deck and it writes one: slides with real text and layout, sharing one visual theme across the deck. It opens in the chat, and you can page through it there or take it full screen.
Editing happens a slide at a time, which is also how you should ask for changes. "Redo slide 4 as a comparison table" is a request an agent can act on precisely; "make the deck better" makes it rewrite more than you wanted. You can keep iterating in the same conversation and the deck updates in place rather than arriving again as a new copy.
A deck can also start from one you already have. Share a PowerPoint file into the chat and ask an agent to work from it.
Decks live with the chat's other files and can be downloaded. See Files for where they land and how to get one out.
Diagrams
A diagram is a canvas, and it has two authors. The agent writes the diagram as text, which is what makes it good at flowcharts, sequences and architecture sketches. You see a drawing canvas, and anything you move, restyle or add is saved as you go.
That split has one consequence worth remembering: once you have edited the canvas by hand, your version is the real one. If you then ask the agent to regenerate the whole diagram from its text, it will check with you first, because doing it would discard what you drew. Asking for a specific change instead of a regeneration avoids the question entirely.
You can also bring a diagram in from elsewhere by sharing an Excalidraw file into the chat.
Getting them out
A diagram exports as PNG or SVG with the drawing embedded, which means the file you export can be opened and edited again rather than being flat. It also exports as an Excalidraw file, and as its text source.
Version history works for documents and presentations. For diagrams it is not available yet: the canvas has no preview to show you, so there is nothing useful to pick between. Your edits are still saved, they just cannot be browsed as versions.
