Artifacts / Canvas

Navin can present concrete results beside the chat: HTML previews, Markdown, Mermaid diagrams, and files. Artifacts persist locally under your Navin data directory for that chat.

How artifacts appear

  1. The agent presents an artifact as part of its work, or
  2. Navin detects fenced HTML / Mermaid blocks in an assistant reply and opens them in the canvas.

The desktop UI opens a resizable Artifact canvas next to the thread. HTML renders in a sandboxed iframe.

Using the canvas

  • Select artifacts from the thread or canvas list when more than one exists.
  • Resize the panel by dragging the separator.
  • Keep working in chat; follow-ups can update the same artifact when the agent presents a new version.

Types include html, markdown, mermaid, and file (and related preview kinds).
