Description
The Agent Library - Create feature lets you use Shakespeare (Contesimal's AI agent) to generate content creation strategies, ideas, and concepts across different content creation domains. You can choose from five content creation types: Video Creator Content Creation, Book Publishing Content Creation, Magazine Publishing Content Creation, Podcast Content Creation, and Blogging Content Creation.
For Podcast Content Creation and Book Publishing Content Creation, you can select from specific tasks tailored to that domain (e.g., "Define The Ideal Storyline", "Generate Quick Content Ideas", "List Potential Story Ideas"). For Video Creator, Magazine Publishing, and Blogging Content Creation, tasks are selected automatically without additional options.
After selecting your content creation type and task (where applicable), providing optional context, and selecting a project, Shakespeare processes your request and generates content creation results that you can refine and use in your Creation Canvas.

Troubleshooting Guide
A. Content Creation Type Options Don't Appear
Issue: After accessing Create, the content creation type selection screen is blank or options don't load.
Fix:
Refresh the page and wait a few seconds for options to load
Check your internet connection - ensure you have a stable connection
Clear browser cache and try again
Try a different browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) if the issue persists
If options consistently don't appear, contact Support and mention that content creation types aren't loading
B. Task Cards Don't Appear (For Podcast/Book Publishing)
Issue: After selecting Podcast Content Creation or Book Publishing Content Creation, the task selection screen is blank or task cards don't load.
Fix:
Refresh the page and wait a few seconds for tasks to load
Check your internet connection - ensure you have a stable connection
Clear browser cache and try again
Try selecting the content creation type again
If tasks consistently don't appear, contact Support and mention which content creation type you selected
C. Task Cards Don't Respond to Clicks
Issue: Clicking on a task card (e.g., "Define The Ideal Storyline") doesn't proceed to the next step.
Fix:
Refresh the page and try clicking the task card again
Wait a moment - there may be a brief delay before navigation
Try clicking directly on the card text rather than the edges
Check browser console for any JavaScript errors
Try a different browser if the issue persists
If clicking consistently doesn't work, contact Support with the specific content creation type and task you're trying to select
D. Video Creator/Magazine Publishing/Blogging Skip Task Selection
Issue: After selecting Video Creator, Magazine Publishing, or Blogging Content Creation, you're taken directly to context selection without seeing task options.
Fix:
This is expected behavior - these content creation types do not have task selection screens
Proceed with adding context (optional) and selecting a project
The creation will proceed with default tasks for that content type
If you expected to see task options, contact Support to confirm if task selection should be available for your content type
E. Can't Find Documents in Library Search
Issue: When adding context from Library, you can't find the documents you're looking for.
Fix:
Use the search bar - type keywords from the document title
Check document names - ensure you're searching for the correct title
Scroll through the list - there may be more documents below the visible area
Use filters - click the filter icon to narrow down document types
Check if documents are processed - ensure your documents have finished processing in the Library
If you still can't find documents, try uploading them directly using "Upload a document"
F. Selected Context Items Don't Appear or Can't Be Removed
Issue: After selecting documents from Library, they don't show as tags, or you can't remove them with the X icon.
Fix:
Refresh the page and try selecting documents again
Click the X icon directly on the tag to remove it
Check if documents were actually selected - look for checkmarks in the modal
Try selecting fewer documents - there may be a limit on context items
If context items consistently don't appear, contact Support and mention the context selection issue
G. Project Dropdown Doesn't Open or Shows No Projects
Issue: The "Select or create project" dropdown doesn't open, or no projects are listed.
Fix:
Click the dropdown arrow to ensure it opens
Use the search bar within the dropdown to find projects
Create a new project by clicking "+ Create new Project"
Refresh the page and try again
Check if you have existing projects - you may need to create one first
If the dropdown consistently doesn't work, contact Support and mention the project selection issue
H. Agent Takes Too Long or Gets Stuck
Issue: The "Shakespeare is working on your request" message persists for an unusually long time, or the progress bar doesn't advance.
Fix:
Wait a few minutes - complex research requests may take longer
Check your internet connection - ensure you have a stable connection
Refresh the page - sometimes a refresh can resolve temporary issues
Check if the research completed - try navigating to Creation Canvas manually to see if results are there
Try a simpler research request - very complex or broad requests may take longer
If Shakespeare remains stuck for more than 10-15 minutes, contact Support with details about your research request
I. Not Redirected to Creation Canvas After Research Completes
Issue: Agent appears to have finished, but you're not automatically taken to the Creation Canvas.
Fix:
Manually navigate to the Creation Canvas section
Check your project - look in the project you selected to see if research results are there
Clear browser cache and cookies, then try a new research request
Check browser settings - ensure no extensions are blocking redirects
Try a different browser if the issue persists
If automatic redirection consistently fails, contact Support and mention the redirect issue
J. Create Results Are Incomplete or Incorrect
Issue: The create results on Creation Canvas don't match what you requested, or information seems wrong.
Fix:
Review your instructions - ensure they were clear and specific
Check your context - verify that the documents/URLs you added are relevant
Try refining the research - use the AI Research panel to ask follow-up questions
Add more specific instructions - try running the research again with more detailed instructions
Check the research type and option - ensure you selected the correct research category
If results are consistently incorrect, contact Support with details about what you requested vs. what you received
K. Can't Add URL or Upload Document for Context
Issue: The "Add a URL" or "Upload a document" options don't work when clicked.
Fix:
Refresh the page and try clicking the option again
For URL: Ensure you're entering a valid, accessible web address
For Upload: Check file size limits and supported formats (PDF, DOCX, TXT, etc.)
Try a different browser if the issue persists
Check browser permissions - ensure file access is allowed
If these options consistently don't work, try using "Add from your Library" instead, or contact Support
