Pasting In Text for the AI to Use
Drop in an email, note, or list and ask the AI to work with it.
Hand It Real Material
One of the most powerful moves is pasting text directly into the chat — an email, a note, a list, an article — and asking the AI to work with it.
Instead of describing the content, you give it the actual content. The AI then acts on exactly what you provided.
How to Paste
Copy the text from wherever it lives (an email, a document, a webpage), then paste it into the AI's message box, the same way you paste anywhere.
Add a quick instruction above or below it, and send. The AI reads your text and responds based on it.
