About

Drop in long documents, transcripts, or images and get clear summaries, action items, and drafts in minutes. Individuals and teams use it to write, analyze, code, search the web, and automate routine work across web, mobile, and desktop. Cowork, Claude Code, and connectors to Slack/Google Workspace help it move from chat to completed tasks.

Editor's Take

Worth trying if you need to turn long text, meeting recordings, or screenshots into clear summaries, action items, or drafts; best suited for people who want a chat-first assistant that integrates with Slack and Google Workspace.

Try It Like This

1
Turn meeting transcript into action items
Sign up and paste the meeting transcript into Claude → ask for a concise summary, list of key decisions, and explicit action items with assignees and due dates → copy the action items into Slack or Google Docs using the connectors to share with the team.
2
Draft a research-based blog post
Upload long reports or paste source links and tell Claude the target audience and tone → ask for an outline, a draft, and a short list of cited highlights to include → refine the draft with follow-up prompts and export the final copy to your editor or Google Docs.
3
Review quarterly financials and ask follow-ups
Drop the quarterly report PDF or paste tables into Claude → ask for an executive summary, trend highlights, and potential risks in plain language → follow up with targeted questions (e.g., revenue drivers) and save the summary to share with stakeholders.
4
Generate runnable code from a function description
Describe the function you need and the environment (language, libs) in Claude Code → receive generated code you can run and test locally → iterate by asking Claude for fixes or optimizations and then paste the improved code back into your project.
5
Create a standup deck from weekly notes
Upload meeting notes and related screenshots or images → ask Claude to extract highlights, metrics, and proposed next steps and turn them into slide text and visual suggestions → download the structured content and paste into your slide tool to finalize visuals.
