Use this article to create, share, update, find, and manage Artifacts in Operator. An Artifact is a self-contained document that Operator saves for you — a report, analysis, plan, or write-up that you want to keep, share with a colleague, or use outside a single conversation.

Unlike a chat reply, an Artifact:

Key benefits:

Artifacts are created through your conversation with Operator. Ask Operator to save any output — a report, analysis, or plan — as an Artifact. Operator creates the document, gives it a title, and makes it available from both the conversation and your Artifacts page.

Operator creates an Artifact when the output is something you'd keep or send. Phrases that trigger this include:

You can ask Operator to update an existing Artifact from any conversation. Operator rewrites the Artifact with your requested changes and overwrites the current version — so there's always one current document, not a trail of versions spread across your chats.

Sharing an Artifact gives teammates read access to the document without requiring them to access the conversation where it was created. Artifacts are private by default — only the owner can see and make changes.

Only the owner can remove a teammate’s access to an Artifact.

All Artifacts you've created or that have been shared with you are listed in Operator > Artifacts. From here you can browse, search, and open any Artifact.

Use the filter dropdown to narrow your view:

The search bar in Operator > Artifacts searches by title, owner, and metadata. It doesn't search the content inside an Artifact.

Select the three-dot menu (…) on any Artifact row to rename or delete it. Only the owner can rename or delete an Artifact.
