Finding and managing artifacts ​

Everything you create lands in Artifacts, whichever chat it came from. This is where you go to find an older piece of work, tidy up what you've collected, or clear out what you no longer need.

Find your artifacts ​

Open Artifacts from the main navigation to see every creation you've made, newest first, as a grid of cards. Each card shows a preview, so you can usually recognize what you're after without opening anything. Small badges in a card's top corner tell you more at a glance: how many pages it has (when it has more than one), whether you've invited collaborators, and whether it has a share link or has been posted online.

Two filter rows sit above the grid, and they stack: pick a sharing state in the first and a type in the second to narrow to exactly one slice of your work. Every artifact stays here until you delete it, no matter which chat or Project it belongs to.

Filter by private or shared ​

The first filter row splits your artifacts by who else can see them.

  • All — everything you've made.
  • Private — only you can see it. This is how everything starts.
  • Shared — you've given it a share link, invited a collaborator, or published it. An App you posted to Slop is here too.

Use Shared when you want to review what's out in the world, and Private when you're looking for something you never sent anywhere.

Filter by type ​

The second filter row splits your artifacts into the two groups the product uses everywhere.

  • Media — Image, Video, Audio, and 3D.
  • Productivity — Document and App.

Each option shows how many artifacts it holds. Choose one and a dropdown appears underneath with the individual types inside it, so you can go straight to just your Videos or just your Apps. Types you have nothing of aren't offered.

The artifact menu ​

Every artifact card has a menu holding everything you can do to that item without opening it. The bottom of the menu shows when the artifact was made and how much space it takes up.

  • Download — save a copy to your device.
  • Rename — change its name.
  • Go to chat — open the chat that produced it.
  • Add to project — file it under a Project. If it's already in one, this becomes View project instead, which opens that Project — or View projects, listing each one, when it's in several.
  • Star — keep it under Starred when you pick from your own artifacts in an editor. It reads Remove star once it is starred. An artifact someone shared with you offers no star.
  • Delete — remove it permanently.

An artifact someone shared with you offers only what your access allows: with edit access, Download and Rename; with view-only access, nothing. Filing it in a Project and deleting it stay its owner's.

The same menu appears on an artifact card inside a chat and inside a Project, so you never have to come back to Artifacts to act on something. The one card with no menu is an App you posted to Slop.

An App you posted to Slop ​

Each App you post to the community's Slop feed appears in Artifacts as an App card of its own, separate from the App you posted it from. It is the frozen copy that runs on the post's page — the post owns it, so it has no menu: you can't rename it, delete it, star it or file it in a Project, and it carries the sharing badge.

Open it and it opens on Manage, holding only Data, Money and Health — what its visitors saved, what it costs, and what has gone wrong. Everything there is read-only: you can look through and export its data, but nothing in it can be changed, and its code can't be opened for editing. Your own App, the one you posted from, stays as it was and is edited as usual.

The card is listed while the post is up on the community. Unpublishing the post removes the card and the App behind it.

Rename an artifact ​

Artifacts are named automatically from the prompt that made them, which is fine until you have twenty of them.

A name is just a name: it never includes a file type such as .png or .mp4, because the editors work the same whatever format a file arrived in. When you download an artifact, the saved file gets the right extension for you.

Choose Rename from the artifact's menu. In Artifacts and in a Project, the card's name turns into a text box: type the new name and press Enter (or click away) to save it, or press Escape to keep the old one. On an artifact card in a chat, a small rename window opens instead. The new name is used everywhere the artifact appears — the grid, Projects, search results, and the editor — and it takes effect straight away.

Renaming is safe and reversible: it changes only the label, never the artifact itself, its versions, or any share link you've already sent out.

Jump back to the chat that made it ​

When you're looking at an artifact and want the conversation behind it — the prompt you used, what you asked for next, what MotherFluxer said — choose Go to chat from its menu.

That reopens the original chat with its full history, so you can keep refining by talking instead of editing. The option only appears when the artifact came from a chat and you aren't already reading that chat.

Delete an artifact ​

Choose Delete from an artifact's menu. A confirmation names the artifact and says how many saved versions and stars go with it, because deleting is permanent.

Before you confirm, know what goes:

  • Every version goes with it. Deleting removes the artifact and all of its saved versions, not just the state you're looking at.
  • The stars inside it go too. A star on anything inside the artifact goes with it, and so does a star on the artifact itself. Copies you already placed elsewhere stay.
  • It can't be recovered. There is no trash or undo for a deleted artifact.
  • Its storage comes back. The space it used is freed immediately, which is the fastest way to get under your storage limit.
  • Your chats stay. Deleting an artifact doesn't delete the chat that made it, and deleting a chat doesn't delete its artifacts.
  • It disappears everywhere at once. Its card leaves Artifacts and any Project it was in straight away, on every device you have open.
  • Its chat card says Deleted. Wherever the artifact appeared in a chat — a result or something you attached — the card turns into a plain Deleted card that can't be opened. A chat you have open changes right away, on any device.
  • Open copies close. If the artifact is open in another tab or on another device, its editor there closes with This artifact was deleted., and an old link to it says Artifact not found.

If you want to remove an artifact from a Project without losing it, remove it from the Project instead — that leaves the artifact in Artifacts. And if you shared it, delete revokes access for everyone holding a link, so tell collaborators first if the work was joint.
