Agent tools are capabilities Chat invokes while answering you.

Chat often picks the right tool on its own; you can also ask directly (e.g. "search the web or make flashcards from this").

When a tool runs

You'll see a status line in the chat (e.g. "Searching the web…" or "Creating flashcards…") before the final answer appears.

Web & media

• Web Search — current information, news, and facts.
• Website Crawling — read and summarize a URL you provide.
• YouTube Transcript — summarize a video from its transcript.
• Create Image / Edit Image — generate or modify images.

Documents & library

• File Search / Read File — work with files you attach.
• Read KB File — read tutor knowledge-base files (in tutor chats).
• Library File Search / Read Library File — search and read saved library items.

Studio outputs

Chat can create and edit these — they save to your Library:

• Flashcards — Q&A, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank sets.
• Notes — bullet notes, tables, summaries.
• Mind maps — visual concept maps.
• Slide decks — presentation slides (export to Canva).
• Podcasts — two-speaker audio scripts (download MP3).
• Datasheets — multi-sheet spreadsheets (export .xlsx).
• Infographics — visual summaries.

Memory & missions

• Create / Update Long-term Memory — save facts Chat should remember across chats.
• Mission Checking — verify tutor mission progress (in tutor context).

App builder

When the APP button is on in Chat, these tools build interactive web apps:

• Create app — write initial HTML/CSS/JS from your description.
• Read app — inspect the current app code.
• Edit app — apply changes to the linked app in the workspace App tab.

See the Apps collection for deploy, share, and gallery workflows.

Assignment builders

When editing assignments, Chat uses specialised tools for quiz and speaking builders (create questions, reorder parts, update rubrics, etc.).

How to use agent tools

Most tools trigger from natural language:

• "Search the web for recent HKDSE physics changes."
• "Summarize https://youtu.be/…"
• "Make 15 flashcards on photosynthesis."
• "Create a slide deck on the water cycle."
• Attach files, then: "Summarize chapter 3."

Saving what Chat makes

Useful replies, flashcards, and files can be saved to your Library so you can find them later. See Save & organize with the Library.

Some agent tools consume extra credits (for example, web search and image generation). Your usage is tracked under Settings → Usage.
