Learn how to engage with prebuilt or personalized AI Assistant in PDF Spaces to uncover insights, clarify content, and deepen your understanding.
PDF Spaces include prebuilt AI Assistant designed for specific roles, business needs, and document types, so you can quickly uncover meaningful insights, spot patterns, and even visualize information through charts and graphs. Choose the assistant that best fits your goal to analyze content faster.
For more targeted outcomes, you can also create a personalized AI Assistant to generate deeper insights, comparisons, and visual summaries that align closely with your specific objectives.
Turn your documents into insights
Ask AI Assistant questions and uncover patterns, summaries, and visual insights across your files.
Get tailored insights
Select Choose an AI Assistant from the chat panel and pick one of the following:
- AI Assistant: General assistance for broad tasks
- Analyst: Best suited for analyzing data or summarizing research
- Entertainer: Great for creative storytelling or engaging content
- Instructor: Ideal for explaining concepts or teaching
- Create your own: Create a personalized AI Assistant for your unique needs
Ask AI Assistant to generate insights or outputs tailored to your PDF Space. Frame questions around your goals, problems, or tasks for the most relevant and actionable insights, such as:
- "Create a study guide with an answer key and suggested study schedule."
- "Draft an email summarizing the top 5 key takeaways and suggested next steps."
- "Create a table comparing sales results over the past six quarters."
Tip
Refine your queries by following up after the AI Assistant responds to dig deeper, uncover missing details, or shift focus for more tailored insights.
Transform information from your documents into clear, visual charts and graphs using AI Assistant in PDF Spaces. Instead of scanning tables or long reports, you can quickly visualize trends, comparisons, and patterns. You can:
- Create charts and graphs from data mentioned across one or more documents
- Compare values, categories, or trends visually
- Summarize complex information into easy‑to‑understand visuals you can reference or share
Try these prompts
Use natural language in the AI Assistant chat, for example:
- “Create a bar chart comparing quarterly revenue mentioned in these documents.”
- “Generate a pie chart showing issue categories across the uploaded reports.”
- “Visualize year‑over‑year trends from this data.”
- “Create a line chart highlighting changes over time.”
Tip
If the result isn’t quite right, follow up in chat to refine the chart. For example, you can ask the assistant to change the chart type or focus on a specific data range.
