What it does

When you ask for something like "surprise me" or say you're bored, the agent looks at the other skills it has installed and picks one to three of them to mash together into a single creative piece, such as a styled presentation, an illustrated report, or an interactive web page. If no other skills are installed, it falls back to finding a news story and turning it into a striking web page, building a small interactive experience, or making something personal from what it knows about you. It then presents the result with a short teaser rather than explaining the process.

Great for

  • People who want a fun, unexpected creative surprise or a bit of inspiration
  • Users who already have several document, design, or creative skills installed and want them combined
  • Creators looking for playful prototypes or mini interactive pages

Skip it if

  • Tasks needing precise, factual or verified output, since the skill prioritises visual delight over information density
  • Users who want to see exactly how a deliverable was made, because the reveal deliberately hides the process
  • Users who dislike the agent searching news or using personal context unexpectedly, since the fallback fetches current news and may use remembered details about them

Try asking

  • “Surprise me with something creative today”
  • “I'm bored, show me something interesting”
  • “Make me an unexpected showcase that combines what you can do”
  • “Give me some inspiration in a fun interactive page”
