## Meet the Canvas

The **Canvas** is your visual workspace. You design logic by connecting blocks and you can ask the Agent to set things up for you.

  <Card title="Blocks and lines" icon="puzzle">
    Nodes are the steps. Lines show how data moves. That is the whole mental model.

## Say hi to Kadabra Agent
