Getting Started with Objx
An overview of Objx and its core concepts

What is Objx?

Objx is a platform for building conversational AI agents with visual flow editing, knowledge base management, and advanced AI capabilities.

Core Concepts

Agents

Agents are your conversational AI assistants. Each agent can have multiple flows, knowledge bases, and be configured with specific behaviors and capabilities.

Flows

Flows are visual conversation diagrams built using the Flow Board. They define how your agent responds to user input, with nodes representing different actions like messages, prompts, AI model calls, and more.

Knowledge Bases

Knowledge bases store information that your agents can access during conversations. They support FAQs, PDF documents, and web page content, all searchable through vector embeddings.

Scenes and Sprites

Scenes are your animation canvases, and sprites are reusable visual elements that you can place, transform, and animate inside those scenes.

Auto face and Forward on idle (mobile)

In the mobile Doodle Bop sprite editor, when you turn on nine-direction mode for a sprite or container, the Info panel can enable Auto face so the part faces the direction it is moving while you drag it or use the position control. With Forward on idle (shown when Auto face is on), the part returns to the forward-facing frame when you release the drag.

On web and mobile, the editor Tools tray includes a Direction tool (after Move): drag on a sprite to set eight-way facing from the drag direction without moving the sprite. It works whenever nine-direction mode is on, even if Auto face is off.

Mobile sprite editor — Auto face controls — Facing while moving switches at the bottom of the Info panel when directions are on
Direction tool (Tools tray) — Set facing by dragging on a part; no Auto face required

Create Sprite from a Photo

Open Create From Isolate to turn a photo into a sprite atlas. Objx removes the background automatically, detects isolated parts, and draws outlines so you can choose which parts to keep.

  1. Upload a photo or drawing.
  2. Wait for background removal and automatic region detection.
  3. Click outlined parts to include or exclude them.
  4. Use Slice to Atlas to pack kept parts into one texture.
  5. Save to create a sprite with atlas frames ready for editing.
