The Nav Bar Tour Part I ⚡ CREAO sidebar explained #CREAO #AITools

CREAO — an AI agent platform that builds apps and automates tasks through chat — published the first part of a navigation tutorial series. The video runs under a minute and walks through the sidebar, which is the main navigation panel on the left side of the screen (Source 1).

Think of CREAO like ChatGPT, but instead of just answering questions, it can write working code, run it in a sandbox, and show you the live result. The sidebar is where you control all of that.

Here's what the sidebar contains (Source 2):

• New Chat button at the top — starts a fresh conversation with the AI agent
• Recent threads — your conversation history, so you can pick up where you left off
• Navigation sections — Feed (activity updates), Agents (saved AI workflows), Workspaces (folders to organize projects), and Files (documents you've uploaded)
• Agent Brain section — where you manage "skills" (things the AI can do, like searching the web or reading PDFs) and "connectors" (links to other apps like Google Drive or Slack)

The video is labeled "Part I," which means CREAO plans to release more navigation tutorials covering other parts of the interface (Source 1). The company also published a written quickstart guide that covers the same ground in more detail (Source 2).

This matters because AI agent platforms are notoriously confusing to new users. Unlike chatbots where you just type and read responses, agent platforms have multiple panels, real-time code execution, file previews, and settings buried in sidebars. Most people open these tools, stare at the screen for 30 seconds, and close the tab. A 60-second video that says "here's where everything lives" removes that friction.

The real value here is the Agent Brain section. Skills and connectors are what make CREAO more than a fancy chatbot — they let the AI pull data from your Google Calendar, scrape websites, or run Python scripts. But if you don't know those features exist (or where to find them), you're just using an expensive text generator. Highlighting the sidebar is CREAO's way of saying "we have powerful features; here's how to unlock them."

The "Part I" label signals CREAO is building out onboarding content. Most AI startups document features but don't teach workflows. If CREAO follows through with Part II, Part III, etc., they're betting that better tutorials = more retained users. That's the right bet — in a crowded market where dozens of AI agent tools look identical, the one that's easiest to learn wins.
