Beta status
The Design Agent is in Beta. Not every GraFx Studio feature is available to the agent yet; support is added throughout the Beta. This page lists, per area, what the agent can do today.
This is a high-level overview, not a complete reference. For example prompts per area, see What you can ask.
- Supported: the agent can read and change it.
- Partial: the agent can do part of it; the note says what is missing.
- Not yet: the agent cannot do it yet. Ask for it, and the agent tells you it is out of reach; make that change by hand in GraFx Studio.

Administration
Outside the Design Agent's scope
The Design Agent works on the open template. It does not handle the following, by design rather than as a Beta limitation:
- generating output, output settings, output tasks and user interfaces
- template management: projects, collections and tags
- changing the assets in your Brand Kit or GraFx Media
