Conversational Editing in Kognie
Definition — Conversational Editing is the standard way to modify a design in Kognie: select a graphic on your canvas and describe the change you want in plain language. Kognie also provides Advanced Actions — curated, one-click tools like removing a background or upscaling an image — that extend Conversational Editing: everything they do can also be typed as a prompt, but they exist so common edits don't require writing one out.
Quick answer — To edit conversationally in Kognie, select the specific graphic you want to change — not the frame it sits in — and type what you want changed. For common edits, Kognie also offers Advanced Actions: Select object, Expand, Remove BG, and Upscale, plus Erase, Recolor, Replace, and Isolate once an object is selected. These are shortcuts for prompts you could otherwise type yourself.
Selecting what to edit
Conversational Editing applies to a specific graphic, not a frame. A frame is a container that groups several elements together, so Kognie can't apply a conversational edit to it directly — select the individual graphic inside the frame you want to change, then describe the edit.
Advanced Actions
Selecting a graphic surfaces an Advanced Actions toolbar with four curated tools:
- Select object — lets you mark a specific object or area within the graphic to target with further actions.
- Expand — extends the graphic's content beyond its current edges.
- Remove BG — removes the background from the selected graphic, isolating the subject.
- Upscale — increases the resolution of the selected graphic.
Using Select object opens a follow-up panel for the marked object:
- Marked — shows whether anything is currently selected, with a Clear option to reset it.
- Actions — Erase, Recolor, or Replace whatever you've marked.
- Layers — Isolate separates the marked object out as its own layer; Exit leaves this selection mode.
Advanced Actions are still conversational
Every Advanced Action is also available as a plain-language prompt — typing “remove the background” does the same thing as clicking Remove BG. The curated buttons exist to make common edits faster and more accessible, not because they're a separate, non-conversational mode.
Frequently asked questions
