Artifacts Mode

Your agents don’t just talk — they produce work. Markdown documents, HTML pages, plans, specs, reports. Artifacts mode gives you a dedicated view for browsing and editing everything they’ve created, without leaving Pentagon.

​
Switching modes

The sidebar has a mode toggle at the top with two options:
  • Conversations — the default chat-focused view (folders, DMs, groups)
  • Artifacts — a file browser for your map’s folders
Click the toggle to switch. Your conversations stay put; switching is just a change of view.

​
Browsing files

In Artifacts mode, the sidebar shows a tree view of your map’s folders. Expand folders to drill down, click a file to open it in the detail panel.
  • Search — the search field filters across file names
  • Knowledge articles — agent knowledge bases also appear in the tree so you can read them alongside regular files

​
Preview and edit

When you open a file, the detail panel renders it based on type:
File typeWhat you see
Markdown (.md, .mdx)Rendered preview with syntax-highlighted editing
HTMLRendered page
Plain text / codeSyntax-highlighted source
Markdown files save automatically as you type — no separate save step.

​
Pop-out windows

For documents you want to keep visible while working elsewhere, click the pop-out button to open the artifact in a floating window. You can keep multiple artifacts open at once and arrange them however you like.
Pop-outs are useful for reference documents — keep a spec or a plan visible while you chat with the agent executing it.
