The request
Your AI Tutor Employee dispatches a Syntic Mechanism Specialist Agent that builds a visual as part of the answer — a diagram, a chart, something interactive — built for the question you asked and woven into the explanation around it. You drag things, click into what's still unclear, and the Tutor dispatches the next Agent run in response. The Agent triggers on its own when a visual would help; you can also ask for one directly. Lighter than asking for a full tool — the diagram streams in where the text would have been, and the conversation keeps going.
A student knows a planet speeds up near the sun but not why. The Mechanism Agent ships an animated trade-off they can run themselves, with buttons to go deeper into whatever's still fuzzy.
"I'm learning orbital mechanics and I understand that the planet speeds up when it's close to the sun and slows down when it's far. But I don't understand why that trade-off exists. Why can't it just go fast the whole time? Help me understand with a well-crafted, interactive, dynamic visualization."
How the Tutor briefs the Agent
No files needed — the prompt carries it. Stating what you already know tells the Tutor where not to start; naming what isn't clicking tells it what to brief the Mechanism Agent to build around.
What the Agent needs
Nothing to upload.
The Tutor handles the rest from the brief.
What ships back to chat
The Mechanism Agent ships three linked views of the same mechanism tied to one slider — the trade-off runs in all three at once. The slider hands you the variable. Drag it and the answer to "why can't it just go fast" shows itself: the energy bar pins the total, so speed and distance trade against each other.

Follow-up dispatches
Keep the loop going — the Tutor dispatches deeper as questions narrow.
Click a button to go deeper
The buttons at the bottom of the visual fire follow-up briefs — click one and the Agent ships a second visual below, built around the narrower question. The first stays; you scroll between them.
"Explain angular momentum conservation in orbits — why does the planet sweep equal areas in equal times?"
Redraw with one thing changed
Name a change and the Mechanism Agent reships — same three panels, different input, so you see what holds and what shifts.
"Would this same speed-distance trade-off work for a comet with a really eccentric orbit? Rebuild the same visual with that orbit instead and show me what changes."
Turn the explainer into a quiz
The Tutor dispatches an Assessment Agent that builds a quiz using the same three panels — it asks what happens at different points in the orbit, you answer, it tells you what you got right.
"Quiz me on what this animation shows. Ask me what happens at different points in the orbit and tell me if I've got the trade-off right."
Tips for the workforce loop
Verbs in your prompt shape what ships
Words like "interactive," "let me adjust," or "something I can play with" steer the Tutor toward briefing for sliders and controls; a plainer description tends to ship a static image. The prompt above uses "interactive, dynamic visualization" — that phrasing is what gets a mechanism you can run. If what comes back is cramped, asking the Tutor to clean up the formatting usually fixes it next turn.
Tell the Tutor what you already understand
Mentioning what you already understand tells the Tutor what to skip — more of the visual ends up on the part that's unclear. One line does it: the student above already knows the planet speeds up; what they want is the why, and that's what gets animated.
What to do with the visual next
Hover over the visual for options. Copy as image drops it into your notes next to the concept. Save as Artifact keeps the interactive version if you'd reopen the sliders later. Or ask the Tutor to write up what clicked — you get a paragraph to edit into your notes.
