Analyze a file
Attach a file and ask for a summary, table, risks, or next steps.
Research with citations
Use search or deep research for current, source-backed answers.
Create a deliverable
Turn a chat into a memo, brief, document, or slide outline.
Use connected apps
Ask Babbily to summarize email, documents, project work, or app context.
Organize ongoing work
Keep chats, instructions, knowledge files, and memory in a Project.
Automate a recurring prompt
Create a paid Scheduled Task and review each run in a new chat.
Analyze a file
Use this when you want Babbily to summarize, compare, extract, rewrite, or turn an attachment into action items.1
Open a chat
Start a new chat or open an existing thread where the file belongs.
2
Attach the file
Any chat model accepts supported files. Add one or a few relevant files; long files can fill the context window, so include the most useful material first.
3
Ask for the outcome
Name the result you want: summary, risks, table, action items, comparison, rewrite, or plan.
4
Continue in the same thread
Ask follow-up questions while the file context is still useful.
Research with citations
Use this when a reply needs current information, public sources, or a broader research report.1
Choose the right tool mode
Use Auto tool mode for most research. Use Manual > Web search for focused current lookup, or Manual > Deep research for broader multi-source work.
2
Ask a source-aware question
Tell Babbily what to research and what sources or time window matter. Add “show me photos of” when you want pictures of the subject with the answer.
3
Name the structure
Ask for a brief, comparison, timeline, pros and cons, source table, or recommendation. Deep Research writes the full report into Canvas.
4
Review citations
Open cited sources before relying on important conclusions.
5
Check the report status
If chat says the coverage is partial or Canvas labels the report incomplete, review what it covers and narrow the next request to the missing sections.
Turn a chat into a document or slide outline
Use this after a useful chat, brainstorm, research run, or meeting-prep thread.1
Open the chat
Reopen the thread you want to turn into a deliverable.
2
Ask for the deliverable
Name the format: memo, brief, meeting notes, project plan, document outline, or slide outline.
3
Use a plugin when helpful
If you use Google Docs, Google Slides, Notion, or another supported app, connect it first and ask Babbily to prepare the content there when available.
4
Review before action
Review any draft, send, update, or workspace action before approving it.
Summarize emails with a Plugin
Use this when you want Babbily to work with email or calendar context you authorize.1
Connect the app
Go to Settings > Plugins and connect Gmail or Outlook.
2
Ask naturally
Tell Babbily what to find, who or what to search for, and what output you want.
3
Choose the output
Ask for open questions, decisions, blockers, next steps, or a draft reply.
4
Approve actions carefully
Review any send, update, or workspace action before approving it. Choose Allow on the approval card, or Send on an email draft. Typing “approved” in the chat doesn’t run anything, and cards expire after 24 hours.
Create or edit an image or video
Use this when you want a new visual asset, an edited image, an animated image, or a short video. Every chat model can create images and videos with the built-in Image generation and Video generation tools.1
Turn on Image generation or Video generation
Use Auto tool mode and ask for the image or video, choose Manual > Image generation or Manual > Video generation, or type
/create-image or /create-video. With Claude Opus 5.5 or Claude Sonnet 5.5, slash commands that force a tool aren’t available; use Auto tool mode or choose another model.2
Add a source if you want an edit
To edit an image, attach it or refer to an image generated earlier in the chat. To animate an image or edit a video, attach it. Each request uses one source image or video.
3
Describe the output
Include subject, style, composition, motion, and constraints. For an image, ask for a square, portrait, or landscape shape in your prompt. For a new video, set Video duration (3 to 10 seconds) and Video aspect ratio after you select Video generation; these settings don’t apply when you edit a video.
4
Review and refine
Save, download, or ask for another version.
Translate and continue in chat
Use this when you want a translation and then want Babbily to help with editing, replying, or planning.1
Open Translate
Open Translate from the sidebar.
2
Choose languages
Select source and target languages, or use auto-detect when available.
3
Enter or dictate text
Paste text or use voice dictation when your browser and device support it.
4
Choose a style
Pick a tone or style chip when you want the translation to sound different.
5
Continue in chat
Use Continue in chat to open a chat with the original and translated text as context.
