Take a small set of generated assets, images, video, 3D, and use the agent to produce a shareable artifact. Could be a portfolio website, a slide-style presentation, an interactive lookbook, or a small app. The artifact is a self-contained URL anyone can open. Time: 10 minutes You’ll need: A workflow with at least 4 generated images plus one of: a short video or a 3D model

What an artifact is

An artifact is a published, shareable webpage generated from your workflow’s outputs. Three common formats:
  • Single-page website: portfolio, case study, landing page
  • Small interactive app: image gallery, lookbook, 3D viewer
  • Slide-style presentation: for client reviews or pitches
Each lives at a public URL. Anyone with the link can open it without a Runchat account. For the underlying mechanics, see the Artifact node reference and the Artifacts dashboard.

​
1. Build a body of work

Before publishing, produce a small coherent set of assets. Pick a style and apply it consistently:
  • Photographic style: interiors, architecture, product photography, landscape
  • Graphic style: illustration, diagram, poster, branding
Then use your own 3D model or any reference image as the subject. Using techniques from the other examples, reference-based rendering, masked edits, video generation, produce:
  • A set of images (at least four, ideally more)
  • One additional asset type (a short video, or a 3D model)
The point is to end up with a small coherent body of work in a single style.

​
2. Ask the agent to build the artifact

Open chat and select all your generated assets on the canvas. The agent reads what’s there, writes the code, and renders it as a live artifact. Be specific about what you want. Examples: 
Use the media in a professional portfolio website with a dark theme
and a hero image gallery.

Build an interactive lookbook where each image opens to a detail
view. Group by colour palette.

Create a slide-style presentation. One slide per image with a short
caption beneath each.
The agent generates HTML/CSS/JS and creates an Artifact node on the canvas with the result.

​
3. Publish via the Artifact node

Artifact node in Create mode
The agent will plug your assets into an Artifact node set to Create Artifact mode. This generates the live artifact page and saves it to your dashboard. By default, artifacts auto-publish to a public URL. To draft first and publish manually, disable auto-publishing in the Artifact node settings.

​
4. Set your handle (first time only)

Visit runchat.com/dashboard/artifacts. The first time you open this page you’ll be prompted to choose a handle, this becomes the public URL prefix for all your artifacts. Your artifacts will live at: https://runchat.com/p/<your-handle>/<artifact-slug>

​
5. Share

Every artifact has a shareable URL. Copy it from the dashboard and send to anyone, clients, teammates, social, they don’t need a Runchat account to view. If you need to update an artifact later, set an Artifact node to Update mode and connect it to the artifact ID.

Tips

  • Strong style consistency matters more than asset count. Four images that share a clear visual language beat ten that don’t.
  • Describe the brief, not the layout. “A professional portfolio for a residential architect” gives the agent more to work with than “5 images and 1 video on a white background”.
  • Iterate by chat. “Make the gallery 3 columns instead of 4.” “Use a serif headline font.” The agent edits the artifact’s code and republishes.
  • Test the share link in an incognito window before sending. Make sure the page loads cleanly without your logged-in state.
