🌻 MapCat#
MapCat is the small chat helper at the bottom-right.
What MapCat is for#
- Ask how UI controls and workflows work while you are using the app.
- Ask it to open help, highlight controls, and switch tabs/subtabs.
- If MapCat is wiggling, it has a suggested next step (a nudge). Open it to see the message.
Header controls (top of MapCat panel)#
- Pro switch: model preference toggle (Flash/Pro behavior). Pro model requires an AI subscription.
- Window controls (group of 3 icons):
- Maximize icon: open MapCat in large centered mode.
- Restore icon: dock MapCat in the normal bottom-right position.
- Minus icon: minimize back to the cat chat-head button.
Footer controls (bottom of MapCat panel)#
- Contact support: sends the latest question/answer context to support.
- Superpowers (AI plan only):
- Default is OFF (safe mode).
- When OFF, MapCat can still answer documentation questions and use non-data UI helpers (for example help/hints/tab switching).
- When ON, MapCat can run data-aware actions (for example sources selection, filter pipeline edits, pivot config), which means project state data is sent to the AI.
- Clear: clears MapCat chat history.
- Send: sends the current prompt.
Privacy and data-sharing behavior#
- With Superpowers OFF (default), MapCat runs in safe mode intended for users who do not want project data sent for AI actions.
- With Superpowers ON, MapCat may send project-derived context needed to execute data-aware requests (such as source IDs, filtered link/factor context, and related view state) to the AI service.
Safety rules#
- UI actions are whitelist-only.
- Project deletion actions are explicitly blocked (
delete/remove/destroy/drop project) even if requested by a tool directive.
