Artifacts

Artifacts are rich, interactive content objects that DarcyIQ creates during conversations. When you ask Darcy to create a document, diagram, chart, image, presentation, or app, the result appears as an artifact — a self-contained piece of content you can view, edit, export, share, and save to your projects.

From conversation to deliverable: Ask "Create a SWOT analysis diagram for Acme Corp" and Darcy produces an editable Mermaid diagram artifact you can refine, export as SVG, or save to a project — all without leaving chat.

Artifact Types

DarcyIQ supports a wide range of artifact types, each with its own viewer, editor, and export options:

Type	What It Creates	Created By
Documents	Markdown, text, HTML, JSON, and XML files	Chat or Agents
Diagrams	Mermaid flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and more	Chat or Agents
Data Reports	Charts, tables, and multi-panel dashboards	Chat or Agents
Images	AI-generated images from text prompts	Chat or Agents
Competitive Battlecards	Structured competitive intelligence cards	Chat or Agents
Presentations	PowerPoint slide decks	Chat or Agents
Interactive Apps	Live React components and MCP-powered UIs	Chat or Agents

Shared Features

Every artifact — regardless of type — supports a common set of actions from the artifact toolbar.

Editing

Most artifact types can be edited directly in the artifact panel. Click Edit to open the appropriate editor for that type (rich text for markdown, code editors for JSON/XML/HTML, split-pane previews for diagrams and React apps). When you're done, click Save to create a new version.

You can also ask Darcy to edit an existing artifact in chat — for example, "Add a conclusion section to that document" or "Change the bar chart to a pie chart."

Versioning

Every edit creates a new version. Use the version selector in the toolbar to browse previous versions and see how an artifact evolved during the conversation.

Export & Download

The toolbar download menu adapts to the artifact type:

Artifact Type	Export Options
Documents	Markdown, PDF, DOCX, DOCX with template
Diagrams	SVG image, Mermaid source, Eraser.io link
Data Reports	Image (PNG), CSV (for tables)
Images	PNG download, copy to clipboard
Battlecards	PDF
Presentations	PPTX download
React Apps	Image (screenshot)

Copy

Click Copy to place the artifact content on your clipboard. The format adapts to the type — documents copy as rich HTML, tables copy as tab-separated values, images copy as image data.

Save to Project

Click Save in the toolbar to add any artifact to one of your projects. The artifact becomes a searchable project item you can reference later.

Share

Click Share to publish an artifact with a public link. You can update the published version or unpublish at any time.

Share is available for most artifact types. Data Reports do not currently support public sharing.
