Ask questions, get writing help, and take action on your briefs — all from the conversation panel alongside your work.
The AI assistant is available in every brief, blueprint, and method conversation in Hamster Studio. Type in the chat panel and the assistant responds — it understands your open document, your team's knowledge, and any context you've attached. It can answer questions, write and update document sections, and trigger actions like generating a task plan, all in the same thread where you're working.
When your request needs research, file analysis, or design context, Hamster handles it automatically — routing to the right specialist in the background. You see labelled progress steps as each part completes.
Open the chat panel — On any brief, blueprint, or method page, the chat panel is available in the sidebar. Type your message and press Enter or click Send.
Hamster reads your context — Before responding, Hamster considers your open document, any files or URLs you've attached, relevant knowledge from your workspace (blueprints, methods, connected tools), and the conversation history from earlier turns.
Requests are handled automatically — Simple questions get answered directly. Requests involving research, file analysis, or multi-step work are broken into parts and run in parallel. You see labelled steps in the chat as each part completes.
The response appears in-thread — Hamster's answer shows up in the conversation. If it updated your document, the changes appear in the editor immediately. Continue the conversation naturally from there.
Document editing: Ask Hamster to add a section, rewrite a paragraph, or restructure your brief. Changes are applied directly to the open document — no copy-pasting.
In-context Q&A: Ask questions about your brief, your team's guidelines (blueprints), or your process library (methods). Hamster searches your workspace knowledge before answering.
Multi-step research: When your request spans multiple sources — your connected tools, uploaded files, URLs — Hamster runs them in parallel and synthesizes the results into a single response. You see each step labelled as it runs.
Auto-threading: When Hamster's response involves a detailed multi-step flow, it can move the conversation to a dedicated thread automatically. This keeps the main conversation focused while giving the detailed work its own space. A link in the main thread lets you jump to the detail at any time.
Brief management from chat: Mark a brief as ready, cast an alignment vote, or notify your team — directly from the conversation, without switching tabs.
Chat suggestions: When you open a new conversation, quick-start prompts organized by category (ideas, strategy, features, code) help you get going without staring at a blank input.
Conversation memory: Hamster retains context across turns within a thread. It remembers what you discussed earlier and builds on previous responses without you repeating the background.
Try again: If a response misses the mark, ask Hamster to try again from the same message with additional guidance.
When your message arrives, Hamster decides the best approach:
During a multi-step flow, Hamster runs specialists in parallel and synthesizes their outputs into the final result. Each specialist's contribution appears as a labelled step so you can follow what's happening.
