Recraft Studio’s Agentic mode enables users to talk and generate images in Recraft Studio like a design assistant.

​
How to enable Agentic mode

​
Step 1: Switch to the new interface

  1. Open Recraft.
  2. In the upper left corner, find the Old interface toggle.
  3. Turn Old interface off.
Once the old interface is disabled, the new interface loads automatically and Agentic mode is enabled by default.

​
Step 2: Confirm Agentic mode is active

  1. Look at the generation controls near the prompt field.
  2. You should see Agentic selected.
  3. In this mode, you can describe what you want in natural language and iterate conversationally.

​
What’s possible with Agentic mode

Chat-driven generation & iteration: Start by describing an idea or intent, and iterate on the visuals using the entire chat context. Brainstorming prompts and design ideas. Use the Agentic mode interface to help craft and refine prompts or explore different design directions without complex instructions. Step-by-step workflows: Multi-step tasks are guided automatically to help move from brainstorming to finished assets in fewer steps. Smart tips in context: Get suggestions for next actions, such as upscaling images to higher clarity and resolution, discovering different styles, or improving results within a workflow. Canvas integration: Result appears side-by-side on the canvas, preserving context to help compare or build on earlier outputs without resetting.

How credits work in Agentic mode

Agentic mode uses the same credit system as the rest of Recraft Studio. Each interaction with the language model consumes credits, in addition to any credits used for image generation or editing.
  • Simple, one-off requests may use as little as 1 credit.
  • Longer conversations with multiple iterations and accumulated context consume more credits.
  • Agentic credits are separate from image generation and editing costs.
For better control over usage, start a new chat when switching tasks instead of continuing a long conversation. Credit usage scales with compute:
  • Quick requests stay lightweight.
  • Complex, multi-step workflows use more credits.
This keeps everyday tasks efficient while accurately reflecting the cost of more advanced sessions.

​
Example Agentic mode workflows

  • Start by asking for help with a prompt for a design task, e.g.: “I need a hero illustration for a SaaS landing page about teamwork. Help me craft 3 prompt ideas”
  • Select one of the suggested prompts, edit it as needed and try generating in different styles by typing “generate it in flat style” or “generate it in photorealistic style”.
  • To change specific details on an image, type in chat e.g., “take 2nd image generated in flat style, but add a dog showing pet-friendly office”
  • Experiment with styles by attaching a reference image, then ask in chat to apply the style to another image
  • When generating or iterating on images, use chat to specify aspect ratio, number of images, or to apply Recraft features such remove/replace background, vectorize, create variations, or upscale.
  • Try using some more advanced design workflows or chain of generations and editing actions e.g.,:
    • “Generate a photoreal product shot of a ceramic mug on a plain light background. Then remove the background. Then produce a clean vector interpretation of the silhouette.”
    • Use key visuals as image reference(s), then ask to create a marketing assets (such as a landing hero, social cover, email hero), specifying desirable formats, colors or other important details.
