Documents, slides, and spreadsheets

Turn a conversation into a polished deliverable, from a one-page brief to a full presentation.

Agents don't just answer; they produce finished work. The Chat home suggests the most common starting points (Draft a document, Build a spreadsheet, Create a PDF, Summarize a file), and everything an agent produces lands as a versioned artifact you can preview, present, download, and share.

Slides

Ask for a deck the way you'd brief a colleague: audience, purpose, and the story you want told.

Turn this analysis into a board-ready deck: market snapshot, trends, where our portfolio fits, the critical gaps, and a 60-day plan. Keep it under ten slides.

The result is a real presentation, not a text outline. Here is one Ava built in the demo workspace:

A nine-slide deck open in the preview: thumbnail rail, presenter mode, and versioning

The deck preview gives you:

A thumbnail rail to jump between slides.
Present mode (the play button) and fullscreen for running the deck straight from Kata CI.
Versions: ask for changes ("make slide 6 a risk callout, tone down slide 2") and a new version appears, with the old one still available from the version menu.
Download for taking the deck into your own tools.

Iterate slide by slide. "Rewrite the title slide", "merge slides 3 and 4", and "add a roadmap slide before the close" all work, because the agent edits the artifact rather than regenerating from scratch.

Documents

For briefs, memos, reports, and one-pagers, describe the audience and the format. Agents produce structured documents with headings, tables, and citations where knowledge was used, and computer-enabled agents can deliver them as formatted Word files.

A pattern that works well for longer documents: ask for the outline first, agree on it, then ask the agent to write it out.

Spreadsheets

Ask for tabular work and you get a real table artifact: sortable, filterable, and exportable, not a wall of ASCII. Computer-enabled agents go further and produce Excel workbooks with multiple sheets and formulas.

For recurring dataset-shaped work, consider a Case instead, where agents fill a live sheet row by row.

PDFs

"Create a PDF" produces a print-ready document: proposals, certificates, summaries formatted for sharing outside the team. Here is Ava's two-page leadership briefing, previewed with page thumbnails, zoom, and download:

Charts and dashboards

Agents with data access render charts inline: hoverable, not static pictures. Here is Ava answering "show monthly revenue for Q1 2026 as a bar chart" with a titled chart, a takeaway per month, and the source metrics linked underneath:

For a full multi-view dashboard, a computer-enabled agent can go further and build a small web app; see The agent's computer.

Images

Agents with image generation enabled produce illustrations, mood boards, and visual references. In the demo workspace, Miracle produced packaging design references for a fragrance line; the images land in the conversation and the Library like any other artifact.

Where everything ends up

Every artifact appears in the conversation as a card (with its format, such as Slides · PPTX or Image · PNG, and an Open in menu), in the Outputs panel beside the conversation, and in your Library, searchable across all sessions. Nothing you make in a conversation is lost when the conversation scrolls on.
