The AI agent is a helper inside the TYPO3 backend. It works on the page you are editing: you describe a task in plain language, the AI agent reads that page and its content, and it prepares the change for you. You review the change and decide whether it is saved. You open it with the Ask AI Agent button in the backend top bar.

Get started in three steps

1

Select the page first

Open Content > Layout (or another page module) and click the page you want to work on in the page tree. The AI agent uses this page as its context.
2

Click Ask AI Agent

Click Ask AI Agent in the top bar, or press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K. The AI agent window opens and shows the selected page in its context line.
3

Ask, review, apply

Type what you need, for example “Summarize the content of this page”, and press Enter. When the AI agent proposes a change, read the change card and click Apply to save it, or cancel it.
  • Nothing is saved until you click Apply.
  • An applied change is saved in the selected workspace: in Live it is public immediately; in a draft workspace it stays in that workspace until it is published.
  • The AI agent has your backend permissions — never more.
New to the AI agent? Continue with Where the AI agent opens. It shows, with screenshots, where the AI agent opens and what each part of its window does.
