Submitting a prompt doesn’t generate an answer directly — it produces a plan you review first, then a live-running task you can watch.
1

Review the plan

After you describe what you want (e.g. in Deep Research mode), the agent proposes a numbered plan — its research angles, an analysis step, and a final write-up step — with an ETA.

There’s no drag-and-drop plan editor. Click Edit Plan and describe what you want changed in plain language (different ranking criteria, a dropped angle, an added axis) — the agent replies conversationally and regenerates the whole plan.

Start it and watch it work

Click Start Research. The view splits into two panes: your chat collapses to a short “Working…” status on the left, while the right-hand canvas streams a timestamped log — search angles, result counts, which sources it’s reading, and interim takeaways.

Get the finished document

Once research wraps up, the right pane switches into a Google-Docs-style editor titled after your topic, with Contents, Download, and Share controls and a live word count. It’s a fully editable rich-text document, not a read-only report — you can keep working in it directly.

​
A real failure mode to watch for

In testing, a task reported completion (“Done — the report is in your chat”) while the actual document contained only a Sources heading — the synthesized write-up itself was silently missing, despite the chat log showing sources had been read and a report was being written. Separately, the stated “4-5 minutes” estimate isn’t a reliable ceiling — a research run can still be mid-flight well past that.
Always open and check the actual document before trusting a “Done” status or relying on it for anything time-sensitive. A completed status is not proof the content is actually there.

​
Run modes

The mode pill next to the model dropdown controls how much the agent asks before acting:
  • Auto run without approval — full access to create, edit, or run intensive actions without stopping.
  • Ask for approval — meant to pause before creating or editing artifacts.
In testing, Ask for approval did not actually pause at any point during a full research run, including at the report-writing step. Treat every run as if it were Auto until this is confirmed to work as described.
