  • Get summaries of documents
  • Ask questions about file contents
  • Find specific data without knowing which file it’s in

​
Agent Mode

Agent Mode is for taking actions. The AI can create, rename, move, share, organize, and delete files based on your commands.
Use Agent Mode when you want to:
  • Organize files automatically
  • Rename multiple files at once
  • Create folder structures
  • Move files based on criteria
  • Perform bulk operations
