Rivya Chat Workflows: From a Brief to a Usable Draft
Plan writing, research, calculations, and image or video briefs in Rivya. Choose a chat entry, check the answer, and preserve the decisions needed next.
Last reviewed on September 9, 2026
Use chat when the next useful result is a decision, explanation, draft, or prompt. Start directly in a generation workspace when you already have an approved brief and need a media file. Chat can help prepare that brief, but it adds its own requests and costs; it is not a required step or a guaranteed saving. For sending messages and managing attachments, use the Chat Studio guide.
Choose where to start
| What you need | Starting point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Explore an idea, rewrite copy, or compare approaches | A regular chat from Studio | State the audience, facts, constraints, and desired answer |
| Calculate a quantity or solve a defined reasoning problem | AI Calculator or AI Solver through Tools | Provide the complete problem, units, and assumptions |
| Explain a reference image or prepare a visual prompt | A chat model that supports image attachments | Check the selected model's image support before uploading |
| Continue a previous decision or draft | The original conversation in History | Read the saved exchange before asking for the next change |
Public chat, model, and tool pages help you compare options. Executing a chat request requires an account; a public page is not anonymous free execution. See public and signed-in workflows. If a model cannot be selected, check model availability.
Turn a vague task into a usable brief
Describe one outcome and who will use it. For example: “Prepare a product-demo outline for a blue ceramic mug, for first-time shop visitors. Use only these confirmed facts: ceramic material and blue color.” This is a writing example, not a tested generation result.
Ask the model to separate confirmed facts, open questions, and proposed creative choices. Do not let an invented capacity, dishwasher claim, or shipping promise become a product fact. Supply missing information yourself or leave it explicitly unresolved.
Choose one direction and request a concrete draft: scene order, approved wording, and a separate visual description. Ask for a targeted revision such as “Remove the durability claim; keep the scene order,” rather than repeatedly asking for something “better.”
Read the final draft against the original brief. Keep the accepted text, facts that must stay unchanged, remaining questions, and intended next step in your own project notes before moving on.
You can follow up in the same conversation to use its earlier context. That context may also contain rejected ideas, so explicitly identify the version you accepted. Prompt writing basics covers the structure of a clear request.
Check research and calculation answers
For current information, select a model with web search, enable it when needed, and open the cited sources to check dates and what they actually say. Search is not available on every model and starts off in chat. Ask the answer to distinguish sourced facts from assumptions; that instruction does not make the answer verified.
AI Calculator and AI Solver are chat tools with task instructions and starter suggestions. They do not turn a language-model answer into a certified calculation. For a small problem, independently check the result. For example, 24 bottles × 750 mL = 18,000 mL = 18 L; for 3x + 5 = 20, x = 5, and substituting 5 gives 20. These are hand-checked examples, not claims about a live tool run. A correct total can still rely on a wrong input or unit.
The tool context belongs to the conversation. Start a new, appropriate conversation if the task changes substantially instead of assuming a saved tool session has become an unrelated general-purpose project.
Prepare image, video, or audio work
With an image-compatible model, attach a suitable reference and ask separately for visible observations and proposed changes. An image does not establish hidden product specifications, ownership, or permission to use a person or brand. Follow references and uploads and the safe upload guide. Chat attachments support images, not PDFs, audio recordings, or video files.
For an image, keep the subject, composition, and facts to preserve explicit. For a video, also describe action, camera movement, and the intended sequence. If a reply offers an image or video shortcut, review what reaches the next form: it opens the destination without generating, can carry one nearby reference, and shortens long text. Copy a complete approved brief yourself when necessary; do not assume full chat history or every attachment will transfer.
Confirm the destination model, mode, references, prompt, settings, and credit estimate before submitting through the image workflow or video workflow. For narration or music, manually copy the appropriate script or description into the audio workflow. A plan in chat does not assemble or synchronize those media files. The guide to working across Studios provides broader context.
Keep work recoverable and costs visible
Successfully completed exchanges can be reopened in the account's saved conversations; generated media is tracked separately as tasks. Neither is a complete project archive. Keep accepted briefs and required source files outside the current form as well. See saved sessions for what is persisted; unsent text and a partially streamed answer are not proof of a saved exchange.
Every follow-up is another chat request. Longer conversation context can affect reserved credits and final cost, while image, video, and audio generation has separate charges. Check credits and billing before planning several revisions. A longer planning conversation does not necessarily cost less than generating directly.
Changing models or opening a new chat does not migrate all previous context. Preserve a concise, reviewed summary yourself, and verify the next conversation has the facts it needs. Save unsent drafts before refreshing or navigating away.
Decide whether to revise, generate, or stop
Revise in chat if an important fact, instruction, or output format is still wrong. Move to generation when the brief is reviewed and the next deliverable really is a media file. Stop when the requested text or decision is already usable; there is no need to add another model call just to follow a workflow.
If a reply is interrupted, check the original saved conversation before resending. A browser disconnect alone does not prove failure. If the saved answer exists, continue from it; otherwise use troubleshooting with the model, approximate time, and visible error. Before publishing any draft, verify its facts, numbers, and commercial claims.
