Doc Co-Authoring Workflow

• Asks clarifying questions to gather all the context you have about the project or decision
• Helps you build each section by brainstorming options, then refining what you keep
• Tests your finished document with a fresh AI (no prior context) to find confusing parts
• Pulls in context from Slack, Google Drive, or other tools if you have them connected
• Creates a structured scaffold for your document type with all the right sections

General Writing

• Writes professional content in clean markdown format with proper structure
• Automatically incorporates research sources and adds proper citations throughout
• Creates tables and graphs using mermaid when presenting data or comparisons
• Ensures all citations link back to real sources and appear in relevant contexts
• Adapts language and tone to match your needs while maintaining professional quality
