The AI copilot

The copilot is the AI assistant that does the tedious reading and detection for you. It lives in the panel on the right of the workspace — toggle it with the speech-bubble in the top bar or ⌘/Ctrl + J.

Instead of one black box, the copilot is a team of focused agents, each with one job. A rail down the side shows every agent with a status dot, and the main feed shows them handing off to each other and reporting milestones as they work.

The agents

Agent	Job	What it does for you
Triage (Identify)	Find the steel	Reads every sheet and picks out the structural-steel pages you need.
Lectora (Read)	Read the notes	Pulls the steel design spec out of the general notes into the Design spec panel.
Plegma (Grid)	Grid lines	Narrates grid-line detection when you run Detect grid in a scene.
Metron (Calibrate)	Scale	Narrates reading dimension ticks and bay distances when you Calibrate.
Kion (Columns)	Columns	Narrates column detection and profile matching.
Trabecula (Beams)	Beams	Narrates beam detection.

Triage and Lectora run automatically when you open a fresh project — they're the ones that light up the Files panel and fill the Design spec. The other four are the voices of the AI detect tools you trigger from inside the scene editor; their transcripts show up here so you can follow what happened.

Reading an agent's work

Click any agent in the rail to open its transcript — its reasoning, the steps it took, and a small meter of how it did:

Icon	Reading
Clock	How long it ran.
Sparkles	How much work it did.
Check	It finished — and how many items it identified.
Loader	It's running right now.

A transcript reads like a running commentary: the agent's progress and the milestones it hit — for example, Triage finishing with the count of steel sheets it identified, or Lectora reporting the design spec is ready. The detection agents — Plegma (grid), Metron (calibrate), Kion (columns) and Trabecula (beams) — narrate the same way while you run the AI detect tools inside a scene, so you can follow what each found.

Controlling the copilot

Control	What it does
Re-run (top of the panel)	Runs the copilot again from the top.
Re-run (on an agent)	Re-runs just that agent — available on Triage and Lectora.
Stop	Stops a running agent — available on Triage and Lectora.

TIP

The composer at the bottom — "Ask the copilot" — is on the way. Today the copilot runs the fixed pipeline above; free-form chat is coming soon.
