# Twistly Agent (Chat)

The Twistly Agent is a chat panel inside the add-in. Ask in plain language — "make the titles punchier", "translate this slide to Spanish", "turn the second paragraph into bullets" — and it edits your slides for you.

## What it works on

Based on what you have selected: the **selected text or shapes**, the **current slide**, or the **whole presentation**. It handles regular text, bulleted and numbered lists, bold/italic/underline, hyperlinks, and table contents.

## How it behaves

* **Edits apply automatically.** When the agent proposes changes, they're written to your slides right away — a checkmark confirms it. Review the slide and use PowerPoint's undo if needed.
* **It's honest about its limits.** The agent edits *text*. Asked to change colors, fonts, positions, or delete shapes, it says it can't — and when another Twistly feature can do the job (redesign, add slide, add image, create presentation), it points you there with a shortcut.
* **It asks before big operations.** Editing a very large presentation in one go prompts a confirmation first.
* **Conversations are saved** and resume when you reopen the panel. After about 3 days of inactivity the thread starts fresh — use **New Conversation** to start fresh anytime.
* You can set the **language the agent replies in**, rate replies, and stop a response mid-way.

## Practical notes

* Messages can be up to 3,000 characters.
* If the agent says it changed nothing, it explains why (nothing matched, content couldn't be edited, or the text was already as requested).
* Available on every plan.
