Using Existing Files as Context

Agent Mode can reference your existing files to create new documents:
Create a summary report based on all the meeting notes from this month
Generate an executive summary from the quarterly financial reports
Make a comparison spreadsheet using the data from the three vendor proposals
The AI reads and understands your existing files, so it can pull relevant information into new documents automatically.

Web Content to Documents

Agent Mode can also fetch information from the web and save it as a file:
Research the latest AWS pricing and save it as a PDF
Fetch the article from this URL and save it to my Reading folder
Download the PDF from this link and add it to my workspace

Tips for Document Creation

Tell the AI exactly what format you want. “Create a PDF report” is better than “Create a report” if you need a specific file type.
Describe the structure you want: “Create a spreadsheet with columns for Name, Email, Phone, and Company” gives the AI clear instructions.
Point the AI to existing files for context: “Using the data from the sales report, create a chart summary” produces more accurate results.
You can refine created documents with follow-up commands: “Add a section about Q2 projections to the report you just created.”
