Desktop Creative Agent input: Agent, @ reference, skills, optimize

01 · Overview

State the goal in one sentence; the Agent breaks it into tasks

The Creation Agent is KiiKii's conversational creation entry point. Describe your idea, script, or visual requirements clearly, and it understands the intent, breaks it into multiple tasks, selects the right skills and models, then produces images, video, audio, or copy in sequence.

PC interfaceAbove the composer: Agent, @ Reference (@ 引用), Skills (使用技能), and Optimize (优化); the menu chooses image, video, audio, and other creation types.

Quick answer

  • Best for complete content sets: cover + supporting images, script + storyboard + final cut, talking head + voiceover.
  • The composer supports @ asset references, skills, and prompt optimization.
  • Model, aspect ratio, and resolution can be left to the Agent or set manually.
  • Generation shows thinking steps and elapsed time; failures report diagnostics and can be retried.
  • Results can be downloaded, or you can copy the prompt, copy the link, or reference the result to keep creating.

What it solves

  • Can't write prompts: describe requirements in everyday language and the Agent fills in the shot, style, and parameters.
  • One piece of content needs many assets: produce covers, supporting images, and video in one conversation without switching tools.
  • Revisions are expensive: just say “change the background to a rainy night” or “make the subtitles bigger” and it keeps editing from the current version.
  • Assets are scattered: uploaded people, products, and audio can be referenced repeatedly within the same round.

02 · Scenarios

Who it is for and what it can do

Whenever you need a set of content rather than a single image, the Agent is the better fit.

  • Creators and knowledge bloggers: produce a topic cover, in-article images, and a talking-head video in one go.
  • E-commerce and brands: product image series, multi-scene presentations, and short video assets for the same item.
  • Fiction and narrative content: turn a passage of text into character designs, storyboard frames, and a multi-shot short film.
  • Local services and stores: event posters, store-visit images, and walk-in guidance videos.
  • Corporate marketing and training: product overview images, demo videos, and multilingual assets.

Three typical workflows

The first is “image first, then video”: have the Agent produce the key frames, confirm the style, then generate video. The second is “script first, then storyboard”: have it write the script, split it into shots, then generate shot by shot. The third is “asset reuse”: upload character and product images and reference them with @ to build series content for different scenes.

If you only need one image or one 5-second clip, the matching studio is faster; the Agent's value lies in continuous tasks and context memory.

03 · Layout

Interface layout and entry points

Open Agent (创作 Agent) in the top navigation to reach the creation page. The left side holds creation history and navigation, the center holds the conversation and multi-round generation records, and the right side previews this round's results.

Main screenNavigation and creation history on the left, the conversation and generation records in the center, and a preview of this round's works on the right.
  • New Conversation (新建对话): start a separate topic so contexts do not interfere.
  • This Round's Creation Details (本轮创作详情): see which tasks were split out and which models and parameters were used.
  • Asset Panel (资产面板): the images, video, audio, and copy produced this round, ready to preview and download.
  • Copy Input (复制输入内容): reuse the previous prompt and adapt it to a new topic.

04 · Composer

Composer and parameters

The four buttons above the composer are the Agent's core actions; below are the creation type and generation parameters.

Create homeComposer on the home page: one sentence is enough to start; below are capability cards for images, social covers, short drama covers, and character designs that you can apply directly.

Agent

Enter Agent mode: the Agent plans its own steps instead of calling a single model once.

@ Reference

Reference an uploaded image, video, or audio asset and state the role it plays in the request.

Skills

Assign a skill manually, such as e-commerce image generation or natural beauty retouching; leave it empty and the Agent matches one automatically.

Optimize

Rewrite a casual request into a fuller prompt, adding style, composition, lighting, and camera.

Three essentials for writing a request

  • State the purpose: WeChat article cover, e-commerce hero image, 9:16 short video—the purpose determines aspect ratio and composition.
  • State the subject: who, where, doing what; use @ to designate assets when needed.
  • State the style: realistic or illustrated, warm or cool light, camera distance—more effective than “premium feel”.

05 · References

Reference assets and @ references

Uploaded assets do not take effect automatically—you must name them with @ in the request and explain what they are for.

Reference entryThe “@ Reference” button and mode switch above the composer: reference an uploaded asset, or switch to image, video, or audio mode.
  • Character assets: keep the same character look, ideal for series content.
  • Product assets: keep product appearance and packaging details so the AI does not alter logos or text.
  • Audio assets: use for lip sync, voiceover, or music; state the language and tone.
  • Video assets: use as a reference for camera movement, pacing, or visual style.

Example request: “Use the character from @Image 1 and the product from @Image 2 to generate a 9:16 e-commerce hero image, change the background to a light wood desk, and leave the price area clear on the right.”

06 · Skills

Using skills: lock in proven workflows

A skill is a packaged creation workflow that includes the prompt structure, model selection, and parameters. Once selected, the Agent follows that workflow, so results are more consistent.

Skill dialog“Select Creation Skill (选择创作技能)” supports search and category browsing, for example e-commerce image generation or natural beauty retouching; leave it empty and the Agent matches a skill automatically.

When to use a skill

  • You produce the same type of content repeatedly and want a consistent style every time.
  • There are clear industry requirements, such as e-commerce hero images that need whitespace and a defined selling-point area.
  • Your own prompts always fall a little short and you want to start from a proven template, then fine-tune.

More skills is not better. Choose one primary skill at a time, then add differences in text so multiple skills do not override each other.

07 · Runs

Thinking process and run status

Complex tasks think before they execute. The interface shows completed thinking, current generation, and elapsed time, so you can tell whether a task is stuck.

Generation status“Generating image · Lighting up imagination”, “Thinking complete”, “Creating”, and a progress indicator with seconds.
  • Generating: shows the current step and elapsed time; for long tasks you can leave the page and still see progress when you return.
  • Task paused: usually means the upstream result awaits confirmation; the task pauses to avoid duplicate generation and charges, and continues after confirmation.
  • Task failed: shows the original diagnostics and can be retried directly; results that already succeeded are not lost.
  • Stop generation: stop promptly when a result is off target to avoid wasted waiting.

After a failure, read the diagnostics before retrying. Retrying the same prompt usually gives the same result; adding constraints is more likely to succeed.

08 · Result

Results and actions

Each result card shows the model, aspect ratio, and quality actually used, and provides entry points for download and further creation.

Result card“Your image is ready” with model / aspect ratio / quality tags; download below, and a menu to copy the prompt, copy the link, or reference the result.
  • Download: save the original image or video file for editing and distribution.
  • Copy prompt: keep this round's effective description as a template.
  • Copy link: share it or embed it in another page.
  • Reference result: use this image as input for the next round to create video or change the scene.

Keep editing

When you are not satisfied, do not start a new round—say what to change in the conversation: “keep the character, change the background to a rainy night street”, “make the subtitles one size larger”, “change it to 9:16”. The Agent adjusts the existing result and keeps it consistent.

09 · Context

Multi-turn creation in one conversation: audio first, then a talking-head video

The same conversation keeps its context. Generate an audio clip first, then reference the character image and have it “speak the content of this audio”—no need to paste the copy again between rounds.

Turn 1: generate audio

Switch to audio mode and specify the voice and script. Example: “Use an elderly male voice to generate audio with the script: Half a life has passed; take gains and losses lightly, do not cling to the past, and do not compare yourself with others.”

Turn 2: reference the character image

Upload or select the character image (@Image 1) and enter “@Image 1 the character speaks a talking-head narration of this audio on a golf course” so the visuals match the audio.

Turn 3: keep refining

Keep changing the scene, camera angle, or tone in the same conversation; the Agent reuses the character and audio from the previous round without reconfiguring.

Turn 1 · AudioSwitch to audio mode and state the voice and script; the capability cards below offer ready-made brand visuals, short drama covers, and character designs.
Audio result“Your audio is ready”: the result card carries an MP3 tag and a player for instant preview or download.

Elderly male voice · narration audio

about 6 s · MP3

“Half a life has passed; take gains and losses lightly, do not cling to the past, and do not compare yourself with others.” — once generated, it can serve directly as the audio input for the next video round.

Turn 2 · Video“@Image 1 the character speaks a talking-head narration of this audio on a golf course”: the result card shows the model, 9:16, 720p, and a 5-second duration.

Talking-head explainer video · 5 s

Character image plus the audio from the previous round, generating a 9:16 talking-head video directly in the same conversation.

The key to multiple rounds is context: in round two you only need to say “this audio” or “this image” and the Agent knows what you mean. When you switch topics, click New Conversation so different projects do not interfere.

11 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions first-time Creation Agent users ask most.

How is the Creation Agent different from the image and video studios?

A studio is single-shot generation: pick a model, set parameters, get one image or one video. The Creation Agent is continuous, conversational creation: you state the goal, and it breaks the work into tasks, selects skills and models, writes a script or storyboard first when needed, then produces results in sequence and lets you keep editing. Use the studios to fine-tune a single asset; use the Agent to complete a whole set of content.

Do I still need to choose models and parameters myself?

Not necessarily. By default the Agent selects the model, aspect ratio, and resolution based on the task, and the result card shows the model and parameters actually used. If you have specific requirements for quality, aspect ratio, or duration, set them manually below the composer and the Agent will follow your choices.

How do I use reference assets?

Click Add Assets (添加素材) in the composer to upload an image, video, or audio file, then type @ to select the asset and state its role in your request. For example: “Use the character from @Image 1 to generate a 9:16 talking-head video in a café.” The Agent treats the asset as a reference rather than pasting it in directly.

What if a task is paused or fails?

While generating, the Agent shows its thinking steps and elapsed time. A failed task reports the original diagnostics and can be retried directly. A paused state usually avoids duplicate charges—confirm the upstream result and continue. Results already generated are not lost when a later task fails.

Where are generated works saved?

Each round's results go into this round's creation assets, which you can view in the asset panel on the right side of the conversation; you can also filter by source in My Assets (我的素材). Result cards support download, copying the prompt, copying the link, and referencing the result to keep creating.

Can I use the output commercially?

Make sure you hold the appropriate rights to any uploaded reference assets, likenesses, music, and copy, and comply with platform rules and local law. Some platforms require AI-generated content to be labeled, so follow the target platform's requirements before publishing.
