# Studio: work with the Agent {#studio-agent}

Studio has one phase-free current chat. Ask for a concrete outcome and verification. The Agent plans through a living checklist and normally works one feature at a time while the visual board remains available.

## Chat and questions {#chat-questions}

Replies support Markdown, tables, collapsed technical activity, elapsed state, attachments, images, PDFs, and realtime speech-to-text. Enter sends and Shift+Enter adds a line. Structured questions can be blocking or non-blocking and may include option previews, fullscreen previews, and notes.

## Queue, steer, and stop {#queue-steer-stop}

Messages during active work form one visible queue. Guidance can stop and steer the current run into a continuation; otherwise queued input starts after completion. Discard pending items when they are no longer correct. Stop cancels the current job without deleting the chat.

## Start a new chat {#new-chat}

New chat asks for confirmation, stops work, discards the pending queue, and creates a fresh conversation. Studio asynchronously summarizes the previous chat as carryover; compaction markers remain visible. Continue with [Review, replay, approve, and revert](/docs/en/studio-agent-review/).
