Workspace panels are located on the right side of the chat interface and serve as the “canvas” where Expert showcases its work. They consist of seven functional panels, each corresponding to a different type of Expert output capability. Panels activate automatically based on Expert’s actions — you don’t need to manually open or switch between them.

Panel Overview

Preview

Displays the real-time output of programs Expert runs in the sandbox, including command-line results, program interfaces, and more

Website

Live preview of the website Expert is building, with HMR (Hot Module Replacement) support — see changes instantly after code modifications

Browser

Shows a live view of Expert performing browser automation tasks, such as web scraping, form filling, and more

Files

Browse the file structure of Expert’s sandbox working directory — view and download generated code and output artifacts

Widget

Displays interactive components generated by MCP tools, such as data tables, charts, forms, and other rich interactive content

Canvas

A creative canvas showcasing Expert’s visual creative output

Video

Video generation preview panel — displays storyboard scripts, compositing progress, and final video output

Preview Panel

The Preview panel is the most versatile output window. When Expert executes code, runs scripts, or launches programs in the sandbox, the output is rendered here in real time. Typical uses:
  • View Python script execution results
  • Preview data analysis charts
  • Observe program debug output
  • View build and compilation results
The Preview panel has a toolbar at the top where you can refresh the preview, expand to full screen, or copy the panel’s content.

Website Panel

When Expert is building a web application or website, the Website panel activates automatically. It embeds a live browser preview with HMR (Hot Module Replacement) — after Expert modifies code, you can see the page changes immediately without manual refresh. Typical uses:
  • Live preview of a website under development
  • See the effect of CSS styling adjustments
  • Test page interaction features
  • Preview the final result before publishing
The Website panel’s preview runs in Expert’s sandbox environment. If you want to publish the website to the public internet, ask Expert to perform a deployment. See the Sites Publishing documentation for details.

Browser Panel

The Browser panel displays a live view of Expert performing browser automation tasks. When Expert needs to interact with web pages (fill out forms, capture pages, extract information, etc.), you can watch the entire process here. Typical uses:
  • Watch Expert scrape web data
  • See Expert auto-fill forms
  • Verify Expert’s actions on target websites

Files Panel

The Files panel is a file manager for Expert’s sandbox working directory. It displays all files created and modified by Expert in a tree structure, with support for clicking to view file contents and downloading to your local machine. Typical uses:
  • Browse the code structure of Expert-generated projects
  • View the content of specific files
  • Download Expert’s output files to your local machine
  • Track Expert’s work progress and deliverables

Widget Panel

The Widget panel displays interactive MCP components. Some Expert tools can generate rich interactive UIs — such as sortable data tables, interactive charts, and submittable forms — which are rendered in the Widget panel. Typical uses:
  • View structured data tables produced by tools
  • Explore interactive charts
  • Fill out forms provided by tools
The content in the Widget panel isn’t just for display — it supports genuine two-way interaction. Your actions in the Widget (such as clicking buttons or submitting forms) are fed back to Expert to drive the next step in the conversation.

Canvas Panel

The Canvas panel is Expert’s creative output space, primarily used for displaying AI-generated visual content and creative deliverables. Typical uses:
  • View AI-generated images
  • Browse visual presentations of design concepts
  • Preview illustrations and artwork

Video Panel

The Video panel is the dedicated window for Profy’s video generation capabilities. When you ask Expert to create a video, the panel displays the complete production workflow. Typical uses:
  • View storyboard scripts and story boards
  • Track the generation progress of each shot
  • Preview composited video assets
  • Play the final generated video

Panel Operations

Auto-Activation

You don’t need to manually open panels. When Expert performs specific actions, the corresponding panel activates and switches to the foreground automatically. For example:
  • Expert runs a Python script → Preview panel opens automatically
  • Expert starts a dev server → Website panel opens automatically
  • Expert calls an MCP tool that produces a Widget → Widget panel opens automatically

Manual Switching

Panels have tabs at the top — click different tabs to switch between panels. If a panel has new content updates, a notification indicator appears on its tab.

Resizing

You can drag the divider between the panels and the chat area to adjust the panel width. On mobile devices, panels switch to full-screen mode.

Collapse & Expand

Click the panel toggle button to collapse or expand the entire workspace panel area, giving the chat area more room.
Workspace panel content depends on Expert’s sandbox environment. If the sandbox session ends or times out, live previews in the panels may become unavailable. However, saved artifacts in the Files panel are not affected.
