Widgets and dashboard tiles

Gideon can present structured information as a widget and turn saved artifacts into dashboard tiles. Use these surfaces when a table, visual, or interactive view makes the work easier to inspect.

Inline widgets

When generative UI is enabled, an agent-authored widget can render alongside Markdown through the supported component system. Ask for a specific view of real task data. Check the values and actions it exposes; a polished widget still needs reliable source material.

Pin an artifact

Enable Settings → Ambient surfaces → Composable home when available, then pin an eligible saved artifact. Keep the number of tiles small enough that the important information remains visible.

Refresh behavior

A tile can have a bound data workflow and a refresh interval. The default tile refresh applies to time-based refreshes; a view-trigger binding can override it. Refresh can cause work to run, so inspect the workflow and access it needs before relying on the tile.

Adjust the surface

Ambient settings control generative UI, the tile limit, default refresh, and surface-layer ceiling. A lower layer setting can simplify or disable the overlay. Chat settings separately control widget density within answers.

When something looks stale

Check when the tile last refreshed and whether its bound workflow completed. Refreshing a view is not proof that an unavailable service produced new data. Open the underlying artifact or run to inspect the result.
