Decide what the Agent can send

Design context stays on your computer until you allow it. See what goes, choose where it is processed, and switch it off again.

Video in production

Until it is ready, this is the running order. Each step is also written out below, and you can try it in the simulator.

  1. Off by default

    Settings, Agent API; Send disabled in a conversation.

  2. Preview

    Instructions, Preview; scroll the context.

  3. Region

    API-key mode: EU or Global.

  4. Switch off

    Untick; the disabled confirmation.

You need

  • The app activated

You'll come away with

  • Find the sharing switch and know its default
  • Preview the context before you send
  • Know which parts of a design are and aren't sent

Step by step

  1. Find the switch

    Open Settings, Agent API. Allow sending design context to OpenAI when I press Send is off by default. While it is off, Send is disabled, and the conversation offers Enable design-context sharing, which switches it on in one click

  2. Preview what goes

    On a design's Instructions tab, choose Preview. It shows the context the Agent is given with each message.

  3. Know what is in it

    Your message; the design's instructions, intent, numbers and titles; references by name, kind and fingerprint, never their contents; the latest worksheet's dimensions, measurements and plan; up to 12 earlier turns of the conversation; and the results of tools the Agent runs.

  4. Choose where it is processed

    With OpenAI API (your own key), pick EU (eligible API project), the default, or Global, under Settings, Agent API. CueCrux Credits always use global processing. OpenAI Subs follow your ChatGPT account's policy.

  5. Switch it off

    Untick the setting. The app confirms: Design-context sharing disabled. Nothing more is sent until you allow it again.

Try it here.

The setting, its default and the field names are the app's own. The design and its values are an example.

    Runs the product's own code

What it won't do

  • Results of the tools the Agent runs, such as reads of your open model, are sent too.
  • Preview shows everything the Agent is given, including some local details that are not sent to OpenAI.
  • Your model files are never uploaded; references go by name and fingerprint.
  • Managed AI uses OpenAI; see the privacy notice.
