Choosing a screen and using the composer
Choose the screen you want from Chat · Report · Slides and type your request. If the administrator has enabled them, you can also choose Image and Audio/Video. Chat is for questions and answers. Report and Slides confirm the structure first and then write the document.
:::tip When you ask for a document in Chat If you ask for a document in Chat, for example "Write a report" or "Make a slide deck", the request moves automatically to a new conversation for that task. Agent conversations, requests that use a starting point, and requests about existing content such as "Summarize this" or "Review this" stay in Chat. :::
