Mentor in Studio Now Understands What You're Looking At

Context awareness - Product update

Describing your context to an AI assistant shouldn't feel like filing a bug report. Yet until now, every Mentor interaction in ODC Studio required developers to manually spell out what they had open, what they had selected, and what they were trying to do—before getting to the actual question. The result: longer prompts, more hallucinations, and a conversational experience that felt anything but natural.

Mentor can now see what you have open and selected in ODC Studio. When you have a Screen, Server Action, or any logic element in focus, Mentor automatically picks up that context—so you can ask "What does this do?", "Explain this logic flow", or "Fix this error", and get a precise, grounded answer without writing a single line of manual context.

  • Active Selection Awareness: Mentor knows which element you have selected in ODC Studio—such as a button on a Screen, an If node in a Server Action, or an Aggregate—and uses that context to inform its response.
  • Current View Awareness: Beyond the selected element, Mentor also understands what you have open, so references like "this flow" or "this screen" resolve correctly even when focus is elsewhere.
  • Natural Language Prompts: Ask "Explain this", "What does this do?", or "Fix this error" directly—no more manually describing your location in the app before getting to the real question.

This closes a fundamental gap in the Mentor experience: the AI now meets developers where they are, rather than asking them to bridge the gap themselves.
