Question

New AI Agent needs a Close/Ignore Button

Your new AI Agent pop-over is obscuring things on the canvas that I need to see. I get the business reason for having this pop-up seemingly apropos of nothing; you want users to see it, know it’s there, and force some interaction and use. However, not providing a way to hide or close it in the moment is either a

  1. A failure at one of the most basic levels of design
  2. Or you’re intentionally incorporating dark UX patterns into your tools to justify the spend to build them

#1 is definitely a suboptimal look from a “design tools for designers” company, but it’s forgivable if you rectify it immediately. #2 is simply abhorrent and y’all should know much, much better.

Thanks for wasting my time this morning, I didn’t have pressing to do and really, really wanted to come to some support page and complain about something so simple.

Hi, ​@Nick Sindt.Thank you for your feedback. I shared this internally as well.

One thing to check, have you already disabled the Agent on canvas by following these steps?

Tip: You can turn off on-canvas prompting by clicking Main menu > Preferences > Show AI Chat on canvas.

I agree that any pop-up covering the canvas should have a clear, easy way to dismiss it. Good design should help users focus on their work, not interrupt their workflow. Hopefully, the team adds a simple close or hide option soon.
