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. You interact with it by typing in the chat panel. The assistant understands the document you're currently working on, the team knowledge your workspace has built up, and the context you've explicitly attached. It can answer questions, write and update document sections, and trigger actions like generating a task plan — responding immediately in the same thread where you're working.
When your request involves research, file analysis, or URL extraction, the assistant handles it automatically — you don't need to choose anything. You see progress steps as they run.
Open the chat panel — On any brief, blueprint, or method page, the AI chat panel is available in the sidebar. Type your message and press Enter or click Send.
The assistant reads your context — Before responding, the assistant considers what document you have open, any files or URLs you've attached as context, and relevant knowledge from your workspace (blueprints, methods, previous conversations).
Requests are routed automatically — Simple questions get answered directly. Requests involving research, file analysis, or URL extraction are handed to specialist agents. You see a "Working…" indicator with each step as it completes.
The response is delivered in-thread — The assistant's answer appears in the conversation. If it updated your document, the changes appear in the editor immediately. You can continue the conversation naturally from there.
Document editing: Ask the assistant to add a section, rewrite a paragraph, or restructure your brief. Changes are applied directly to the open document without copy-pasting.
In-context Q&A: Ask questions about your brief's content, your team's guidelines (blueprints), or your process library (methods). The assistant searches your workspace knowledge base before answering.
Multi-step flows: Structured flows handle more complex requests — researching a topic from multiple sources, extracting content from a URL, processing meeting notes — and run as a visible sequence of steps in the chat.
Try again: If a response misses the mark, you can ask the assistant to try again from the same message. It re-runs the last flow with any additional guidance you provide.
Replay: The assistant remembers your last query in the current thread. You can replay it after making changes to your document to see how the answer updates.
One-tap suggestions: When you open a new conversation, Hamster surfaces quick-start prompts organized into categories (ideas, strategy, features, code). These help you start writing without staring at a blank input. This feature may need to be enabled for your workspace.
When your message arrives, the assistant decides how to handle it:
During a flow, the assistant collects results from parallel steps, synthesizes them, and then produces the final output — whether that's a written addition to your document or a standalone answer in the thread.
