The Riff agent chat panel is on the right side of the App builder. You build your app by talking to the Riff agent here — describing what you want, reviewing what it builds, and iterating.
For the full reference on the chat panel controls (thread navigation, Agent dropdown, Build / Plan toggle, file attachments, skill mentions), see Riff agent chat panel.
Type what you want and press Enter. The Riff agent reads your message, considers the current state of your app and your connected integrations, and responds — usually by making changes directly.
You don't need to frame requests as technical instructions. Describe the outcome you want:
"Add a table that shows open purchase orders from this week, sorted by supplier"
"The submit button isn't working — can you check what's happening?"
"Connect this form to the SAP integration and write the output back to the PO table"
Each conversation is a thread. Use the Thread Selector at the top of the panel to switch between threads or start a new one. Threads let you keep separate topics — a feature you're building, a bug you're debugging — without losing context from either.
By default the Riff agent is in Build mode — it acts on your messages. Switch to Plan mode when you want to review what it intends to do before it does it. Plan mode is shown in orange. See Build / Plan toggle.
Type / in the chat input to load a skill — a prepared brief or instruction set for a specific type of task. The skill's content is added to your message. See Skills.
