Chat is great for intent, but agent work gets lost in the scroll. Here is how I use canvases with my agentic workflows—and why your workflow also deserves a canvas. The post How canvases make agentic
why it matters
Chat is fine for stating intent, but once an agent starts doing real multi-step work, the important state gets buried in an endless scroll where you can't easily see or correct what's happening. A canvas gives you a persistent, spatial view of the workflow, which makes it easier to steer the agent mid-task and keep runs cost-efficient instead of paying for wandering, invisible work. If you're building with Claude Code or Cursor, this is a concrete argument for pairing your agent with a visible surface rather than relying on chat history alone.
