Make features easier to discover with a Try it prompt

What's hard today

Today I found out by accident that I can create a scheduled task just by asking T3 Code. When Scheduled tasks came out, I thought it all had to be set up by hand in Settings. That looked like too much work, so I never tried it. Then I asked the agent to see what would happen, and it created the task for me.

Many features work this way: the agent can do them through the T3 Code MCP, but nothing in the app says so. You find out by reading changelogs, by luck, or not at all. That goes for older features too, not only new ones.

Idea

Give features a Try it button. It puts a ready-made prompt into the composer that shows how the feature works and how to use it day to day. The agent runs the demo in your own project and cleans up afterwards. Nothing is sent until you press send.

The most useful place for it is features the agent can run. One prompt shows that the feature exists, that you can just ask for it, and what the result looks like.

Where it could appear:

• A dismissible card after an update, listing the headline features. Each has Open, which goes to the feature, and Try it.
• On the feature's own page, such as next to "New task" in Settings → Scheduled tasks, so older features get the same help.

I mocked both up:

Example: Scheduled tasks

Use the T3 Code MCP to create a scheduled task in this project that runs every 5 minutes and summarizes git status. Run it once now, show me where it appears in Settings → Scheduled tasks and in this thread's Automations panel, then delete it.

I ran it with Claude Opus 5.5. It created the task, ran it once, showed it in Settings and in the thread's Automations panel, then deleted it.
