## How Widget Studio Works

Widget Studio lets product managers, operations teams, and designers build tool UIs themselves by chatting with an AI agent. Describe what you want, preview it instantly, and publish to your agent.

**The process:**

### 1. Connect your tool

Connect your tool (from External MCP)

### 2. Describe your interface

Describe your desired interface to the Widget Editor Agent

### 3. Preview your widget

Preview on desktop and mobile, light and dark modes

### 4. Publish to your agent

Publish instantly to your agent

When your agent calls that tool, your custom widget displays automatically.

## What You Can Build

#### Display Widgets (Available Now)

Create interactive UIs for tools from external MCPs:

#### Data Visualization

- Charts, graphs, and dashboards
- Progress trackers and analytics displays
- Real-time data monitoring interfaces

#### User Input & Forms

- Multi-step forms embedded in chat
- Interactive questionnaires and surveys
- Data collection interfaces

#### Content Display

- Course catalogs with images and ratings
- Product listings with filtering
- Document previews and readers

#### Interactive Experiences

- Quizzes and assessments
- Booking and scheduling interfaces
- Workflow wizards and guided processes

#### Standalone Widgets (Coming Soon)

Create UIs for native Mindset AI platform tools. Currently visible in the interface for exploration, but publishing is disabled while we finalize this capability.

## Known Limitations

> **Warning:** These limitations are being addressed in upcoming releases:

#### Message History

Message history doesn't persist when you switch tabs. Keep external notes or complete edits in one session.

#### Import MDX Functionality

The Import button is visible but not yet functional. To use existing MDX code, paste it directly into the Agent chat.

#### Widget Mode Switching

Once you start generating a widget in Display or Standalone mode, don't switch modes—it causes unpredictable behavior.

#### Multiple Widgets Per Tool

You can currently create multiple widgets for one tool, but only the most recently created widget will be active. You must only create one widget per tool. In an upcoming release, we'll automatically enforce this—keeping only one widget per tool and removing any duplicates.

#### Standalone Publishing

Standalone widgets are in beta. You can explore the interface, but publishing is disabled. Focus on Display widgets for production use.
