These recipes show common ways to use Babbily. Treat them as starting points, then adjust the prompt, model, files, tools, or plugins for your work.

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

Choose a supported model

Pick a model that supports the file type you want to use.
3

Attach the file

Add one or a few relevant files. Long files can fill the context window, so include the most useful material first.
4

Ask for the outcome

Name the result you want: summary, risks, table, action items, comparison, rewrite, or plan.
5

Continue in the same thread

Ask follow-up questions while the file context is still useful.
Do not upload secrets, private keys, payment details, or files you are not allowed to use in Babbily.

​
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 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.
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.
If a selected plugin action needs approval during Deep Research, review the inline approval card. The Canvas report keeps the work gathered before the pause.

​
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.

​
Create an image or video from source media

Use this when you want a new visual asset, a variation, or a short video.
1

Choose a media-capable model or tool

Select a model that supports image or video generation, or use Manual mode when the tool is available.
2

Attach source media if supported

Attach required source media when the selected model asks for it, or attach optional source media when you want Babbily to use it as a reference.
3

Describe the output

Include subject, style, composition, motion, pacing, size, aspect ratio, and constraints.
4

Review and refine

Save, download, or ask for another version.

​
Translate and continue in chat

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
