# Tiles

In Tila, everything starts with tiles. These are visual blocks on the canvas that perform specific tasks using AI.

Each tile is a mini-agent that you assemble yourself. Inside a tile, you can:

- **describe a task** to set the direction of work,
- select the required **LLM model** (for example, GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 3.7, or Gemini 2 Lite),
- set **parameters** that affect the result (image size, video style, etc.).

All fields are filled out directly in the interface — no code, quickly and transparently.

Tiles can be **connected to each other**, passing context and building logical chains.

## What types of tiles are there?

Tila has two types of tiles:

- **Universal “Request” tile** — simple and minimalist, with no extra fields. Suitable for quick tasks.
- **Specialized tiles** — with detailed settings for specific scenarios: image generation, video, documents, speech, visualization, etc.

You can read more about each tile in separate articles.

## How do you link tiles?

Tiles can be connected to each other. This allows you to automatically use the result of previous steps in the next one.

- To create a new linked tile: hover over ⊕ at the bottom of the current tile and choose the desired type of new tile.
- To connect existing ones: click and hold ⊕ or • on one of the tiles, then drag the connection from one tile to another.

💡 **Tip**

You can use **multiple connections**. For example, link three tiles at once to the next one to use their context together.

## Tile menu

All tiles (except the “New Request” tile) have a context menu with the following options:

- **Continue** — create the next tile and link it
- **Restart** — regenerate the result
- **Duplicate** — copy the tile with all parameters
- **Disconnect** — remove all connections
- **Download** — export the tile as a file
- **Delete** — remove the tile from the canvas
