# Artifact Builder: Clear, Consistent Cards and Reports From Your Agents

> The Artifact Builder is the agent behind consistent AI agent reports in the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI: it brings every status card, summary and report into one house style, fixes cards that look wrong without changing a word or fact, and checks each fix at phone, tablet and desktop widths.

Cards and reports from your agents that read clearly on any screen.

## At a glance

- **When it steps in:** A new kind of card or report, or one that looks wrong
- **What it fixes:** Layout and presentation only; every word and fact stays as written
- **Screens it checks:** Phone, tablet and desktop widths, with zoom and keyboard use
- **Freshness:** Time labels that keep a saved view apart from fresh data
- **Running cost:** Routine updates need no AI; any claimed saving is measured in full
- **What it never does:** Widen who can see a card or a link

## What the Artifact Builder does

- **Brings new card types into line:** When a new kind of status card, list or report appears, it checks it against the approved house style and returns the changes needed so it matches the rest.
- **Fixes cards that look wrong:** A card that is cramped, confusing, hides an urgent action or shows the wrong time gets its presentation fixed, with every word and fact left as it was.
- **Tests on real screens:** It checks the actual card as you would see it at phone, tablet and desktop widths, with zoom and keyboard use, not from a single screenshot.
- **Keeps cards honest about freshness:** It makes sure a card shows when it was last updated, and that reopening a saved card is never presented as fresh data.
- **Keeps upkeep cheap:** Routine updates to cards that already follow the style run without AI. Before any change is called a saving, it measures the full cost, including its own time.

## How the Artifact Builder differs from restyling cards by hand

Cards restyled one at a time drift apart, and a quick fix can quietly change what a card says. The Artifact Builder checks each new card type against one approved house style, fixes only the presentation and leaves every word and fact as the owning agent wrote it. It tests the real card at phone, tablet and desktop widths, keeps time labels honest and lets routine updates run without AI.

## How it works

1. **Something to fix** (When a card is new or looks wrong): A new kind of card arrives, or an existing one looks wrong or is hard to follow.
2. **Capture the facts** (Before any change): It records which card it is, who sees it, what it says and how it looks today.
3. **Find the owner** (Before the fix starts): Presentation problems are its own. Code changes go to the Developer and style decisions to the Designer.
4. **Fix and test** (Before it counts as done): The fix is checked at phone, tablet and desktop widths, with zoom and keyboard use.
5. **One result** (Once the checks pass): You get one short answer with the evidence and any limits, not a separate report for every check.

## When to use it

- **A status card on your phone cuts off the approval button:** It captures the card as you see it, finds the layout problem, gets the presentation fixed and rechecks it on phone and desktop.
- **You are adding a weekly summary card:** It reviews the new card against the house style and returns the changes needed, with before and after views and an accessibility check.
- **You are not sure a report shows current information:** It checks where the numbers came from and when, then makes the time label on the card tell the truth.
- **Someone says a change made the cards cheaper to run:** It measures the whole cost before and after, so the claim rests on evidence.

## What you get

- Cards and reports brought into the approved house style
- Presentation fixes with the wording and facts unchanged
- Before and after views, checked at phone, tablet and desktop widths
- Honest time labels that separate a saved view from fresh data
- One short result with the evidence and any limits

## Example: card presentation review

Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.

What it was asked: The status card on my phone cuts off the approval button, we are adding a weekly fittings card that should match the others, and is the bookings report actually up to date?

The Artifact Builder captured each card as the owner sees it and checked it at phone, tablet and desktop widths, at 200% zoom and by keyboard, comparing every word before and after. It fixed only presentation: the layout change needed code, so the Developer built it and the DevOps Agent released it, a new colour request went to the Designer, and the owner checked the result on her own phone. The report's numbers and the refund decision were not checked; they belong to their owning agent and the owner. Run date: 1 October 2026.

### What it found

- On a 360 px phone the deposit refund approval button sat 20 px below the card's fixed bottom edge; after the layout fix it shows at all three screen sizes, every word unchanged.
- The new weekly fittings card passed 6 of 9 house-style checks; three presentation fixes (two off-palette colours, heading order, grey text at 2.5:1 contrast) brought it to 9 of 9.
- Reopened from a saved view, the bookings report said "Updated just now" over 40-hour-old data; its time label now says when the data is from, and the figures are unchanged.

## Guardrails

- It never changes the facts inside a card; it only changes how they are laid out and presented.
- Fixing presentation never widens who can see a card or a link.
- It uses the approved visual style; changes to the style itself go to the Designer.
- Nothing counts as done until it has been checked on real screens.
- It is called only for new card types or cards that look wrong, not on every update.

## Frequently asked questions

### What makes good status card design for AI agent updates?

A card should show the action that needs you without hiding it, say when its data is from and look like every other card. The Artifact Builder in Ai1 by MyZone AI brings each new card type into one approved house style and fixes cards that are cramped or confusing, leaving every word and fact as written. It checks each new kind of card or report against that house style and returns the changes needed, so cards feel like one product wherever you open them.

### How do you make AI agent reports mobile friendly?

Check the real card on a phone, not a single screenshot. The Artifact Builder tests each fix at phone, tablet and desktop widths, with zoom and keyboard use, and nothing counts as done until it passes on real screens. When a fix needs new code, the Developer builds it and the DevOps Agent ships it. The Artifact Builder then checks the result.

### What does an accessible report design check look at?

Whether text has enough contrast, headings come in a sensible order and the card still works with zoom and keyboard use. The Artifact Builder runs these checks on new cards and fixes the presentation only. Every word and fact stays exactly as the agent that owns the card wrote it. Only the layout and presentation change.

### When does the Artifact Builder step in, and what will it not change?

It steps in only for new card types or cards that look wrong. Normal updates to cards that already follow the style happen without it. It works with the approved visual style and does not change your brand colours or icons; changes to the style itself go to the Designer. Presentation fixes never widen who can see a card or a link.
