Welcome to Atelier
Atelier is the artist's-studio chassis — warm tones, hand-drawn-feeling typography, gallery-style layout for visual work. Designed for artists, designers, and anyone whose output is more visual than textual.
What's where
- Top bar: History and New chat are on the left. Chat controls in the header include the model picker, Nyquest / BYOK, DynaRAG, and Optimize. The right side holds account controls, the palette button (chassis picker), Help, and the circular navigation button.
- Main panel: chat with brushstroke-edge bubble dividers. Generated images render large, at gallery-card sizing, with auto-shadow. Code/text replies use a softer mono font that doesn't fight the warm aesthetic.
- Workspace navigation: the circular button on the right of the header opens Chat, Studios, Splicer, Agents, Vault, and More. Usage, API keys, providers, settings, and admin (if available) live under More.
- Phones: the model stays visible in the header. Open Chat controls for BYOK, DynaRAG, and Optimize; use the circular navigation button for workspace destinations and the header Menu drawer for conversations, account controls, and the chassis picker.
- History: the History button in the top bar slides your pieces in over the main panel, with collections listed above them. + New piece starts a new one.

What it's good for
Atelier is the right pick when you're generating images, iterating on visual concepts, brainstorming designs, or working on creative writing where atmosphere matters. The gallery-card image rendering means generated artwork gets the visual respect it deserves (vs. tiny inline thumbnails in other chassis). Pair with image-generation models for the smoothest experience.
