How to create or redo a document from a file with AI
Instead of writing a document from scratch, you can upload a file and let artificial intelligence write the content.
Create a document from a file
- In Documents, click New document. You can also do it from the Documents tab on a company's page.
- Switch to the Import file tab.
- Drag your file or click to choose it. It accepts PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) and PowerPoint (.pptx), up to 100 MB.
- Click Import.
The AI decides the title, so it doesn't ask for the name, the type or the status. It's processed in the background: you can close the screen and the document will show up on its own in a few minutes. If you start it from a company, the document is linked to it.
Regenerate a document's content
- Open the document and click the AI button.
- Choose Import with AI.
- Upload the file and confirm.
Careful: this replaces all the current content with the AI's result. The title isn't touched. That's why WorkOS asks you to confirm first.
Other options in the AI button
- Turn into a publication: opens the new publication window citing the document, ready to write with AI. It only appears if your account uses Posts.
- Improve the document's formatting: the AI reorganizes headings, paragraphs and lists while keeping all the information and links. It asks for confirmation. It only appears when the content is simple enough.
Common problems
- The document doesn't appear: wait a few minutes and click Reload documents.
- Format not supported: for documents only PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint are accepted.
Tip: always review the result. The AI can make mistakes or leave something out, especially with complex tables.
