Orient yourself in the sidebar

  • New Chat — start a fresh conversation.
  • Sites (Beta) — the separately-gated Imagine Build website tool.
  • Search Chats — find a past conversation.
  • AI Tools — shortcuts into ImagineArt’s other generation tools.
  • Customize — Sources, Memory, and Personalization.
  • Scheduled (Beta) — recurring agent jobs.
  • Projects and Recents — your saved work and chat history.

Modes: presets on the same chat

The pills below the prompt box — Chat, Sites, Images, AI Slides, AI Sheets, and under More: AI Videos, AI Docs, Graphs, AI Music, Deep Research, Plan Trips, Motion Design, AI Resumes, AI Contract — mostly aren’t separate tools. Each one (other than Sites) is the same chat framework on its own sub-route, with a mode-specific composer hint and starter prompts. Deep Research, for instance, adds its own quick-start chips and a Standard/Deep-research toggle; AI Slides adds a slide-count selector and a template gallery.

Sites is the exception. Clicking the Sites pill goes to the same invite-only Imagine Build gate mentioned in What is Imagine Computer? — it isn’t a more-open version of the sidebar’s Sites item.

​
Two controls that shape every task

Every prompt bar has two dropdowns worth understanding before you run anything.

​
Model tier

Model tier dropdown showing Flash, Pro, and Ultra with their real descriptions
  • Flash — fast and efficient for everyday tasks, quick ideas, and lightweight problem-solving.
  • Pro — more power for deeper research, bigger workflows, and multi-step tasks that need extra capacity.
  • Ultra — maximum intelligence for your most complex, high-stakes, end-to-end work.
A separately promoted Opus 5 banner sits above the prompt box — it isn’t part of this tier dropdown, implying it’s a distinct offering rather than a fourth tier.

​
Run mode

Run mode dropdown showing Auto run without approval and Ask for approval options with their descriptions
  • Auto run without approval — full access to create, edit, or run intensive actions without stopping.
  • Ask for approval — meant to ask before creating or editing artifacts.
In testing, setting Ask for approval and running a real research task end-to-end did not actually pause for approval at any point, including at the report-writing step. Don’t rely on this setting as a safety gate yet — treat every run as if it were Auto.
