FROM QUESTION TO ACTION

Use document chat for the work that comes next.

Once the right files are in context, keep the same workflow for the three tasks people use most: condense the material, compare what changed, and turn the answer into usable text.

Summarize documents
Summarize and extract
Pull the main ideas, key facts, and action items from one file or a related document set.
Compare documents with AI
Compare and analyze
Ask what changed, where two sources agree, or which numbers and claims need a closer look.
Rewrite document insights
Rewrite and reuse
Turn the answer into clearer notes, a concise draft, or text that is ready for the next document task.

Move from document chat to a cleaner source set.

When files arrive in different formats, bring related content together first, then keep the AI conversation focused on one organized source set.

Combine related documents before continuing AI document chat

Combine related documents, then ask better questions.

Create a single PDF from related files when you want one clean document to review, annotate, translate, summarize, or reuse after the AI conversation.

FROM ANSWER TO OUTPUT

Turn document insights into a presentation without starting over.

Once AI has helped you compare, summarize, and organize information across documents, reuse those results to create a presentation-ready output instead of copying notes into a separate workflow.

REUSE WHAT YOU LEARNED

Turn the same document set into study and research outputs.

Document chat does not have to end with one answer. In AI Space, the same sources can become Knowledge Cards, quizzes, podcasts, mind maps, or structured reports—so your research context stays connected from question to output.

Knowledge Cards
Keep key concepts ready for review.
Quiz
Test understanding from your own sources.
Podcast
Listen back to dense material in a new format.
Report
Organize findings into a structured draft.
