Agent chat is the fastest way to learn ADE — it shows the whole loop: prompt, tool calls, file changes, terminal output, review, and commit.

​
Start the chat

1

Start a new chat

In Work, open a new chat. You can pick an existing lane or let ADE create one for the task.
2

Pick a provider and model

Use the default, or choose any verified provider — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory Droid, or OpenCode — from the model selector.
3

Send a narrow task

Ask for one contained change. Skip broad prompts like “clean up the whole app” for your first run.
4

Watch tool calls

The transcript streams reads, edits, shell commands, and test output as the agent works.
5

Review the diff

Open Files, inspect every changed file, run tests if needed, then commit.

First prompt

If the agent gets stuck

  • Press Stop and ask for a shorter plan.
  • Paste the exact test or build error back into the chat.
  • Switch to a stronger model for the session.
  • Keep the task inside the lane — don’t move it to your primary checkout.
