Chat is the control surface for Doe. The preview pane is where the work opens: files, spreadsheets, charts, sandbox outputs, sources, agent activity, and Loops stay beside the conversation. Preview pane

​
Ask Once, Doe Chooses the Work

You do not need to pick a mode before asking. Doe decides whether a request should be handled as a quick response or as deeper agent work.
RequestWhat Doe may do
Quick answerRespond directly in the conversation
Drafting or rewritingProduce copy you can refine with follow-ups
File questionRead the relevant file and cite useful sections
Multi-step workSearch, analyze, use apps, create files, and show activity
Recurring taskHelp create a Loop when the prompt includes a cadence
For larger requests, Doe can plan, gather context, use subagents, validate outputs, and produce a complete result. See Agents.

​
Add Context With @

Type @ to attach the exact context Doe should use.
ContextExamples
IntegrationsGmail, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, GitHub, Linear, Notion
FilesPDFs, DOCX files, spreadsheets, CSVs, images, JSON, Markdown
Google filesDrive files, Sheets, Docs
Folders and sessionsPrior chats, grouped work, reusable context
CapabilitiesFile analysis, email composition, calendar work, research, and data analysis
If an integration is not connected, Doe can surface the connection flow from the mention menu.

​
Attach Files and Images

Drag files into chat, use the upload button, or paste images directly into the input. Attached files stay available to that conversation; Library files can be reused across conversations. Examples: 
@board-pack.pdf Extract the top risks and cite the page for each one.

@pipeline.xlsx Clean this spreadsheet, add formulas, and make the summary sheet presentation-ready.

Use this screenshot to identify the UI issue and draft a bug report.

​
Follow-Ups and Message Flow

Doe is designed for iterative work. After a response, it can suggest useful next questions, such as drilling into a source, turning a table into a spreadsheet, or creating a follow-up draft. While agent work is running, you can send another message in the same conversation. Follow-ups can narrow scope, add context, change the output format, cancel a pending request, or steer the active work when available. Useful interaction patterns:
PatternUse it for
Suggested follow-upsContinue a research thread without rewriting context
Queued messagesAdd the next instruction while agent work is still running
Selected-text replyHighlight part of an answer and respond to that exact excerpt
Voice inputDictate a prompt when typing is slower
Generated file listOpen, download, or locate files created during the run

​
Preview Pane

The preview pane displays work in tabs:
Tab typeWhat it shows
FilesPDFs, documents, images, generated files, and downloads
SpreadsheetsEditable workbook previews, formulas, formatting, charts, exports, and sync controls
ActivityAgent plans, app actions, subagent work, analysis, evidence, sources, and progress
VisualizationsCharts and images generated during analysis
LoopsPrompt, cadence, status, run history, and actions for scheduled work
Open or close the pane with Cmd + I / Ctrl + I. Pop out the active preview tab with Cmd + Shift + P / Ctrl + Shift + P. You can keep several preview tabs open at once, switch between generated files and sources, and return to the conversation without losing the artifact you were reviewing.

​
Agent Activity

Substantive agent work automatically opens activity when it starts. Use it to see what Doe is doing and to inspect supporting evidence.
ActivityWhat to inspect
App and file actionsWhich connected apps, files, websites, or sandboxes were used
SourcesURLs, files, pages, passages, or records used to support an answer
AnalysisCalculations, checks, generated charts, and saved artifacts
Spreadsheet editsSheet creation, reads, writes, formulas, formatting, validation, and exports
SubagentsSpecialized agents assigned to focused pieces of the work
If a result looks surprising, open the relevant source, file, sandbox output, or spreadsheet tab and verify the underlying evidence before acting on it.

​
Steering Work

You can redirect agent work while it is running by sending another message in the same chat. Useful steering messages:
  • Focus only on enterprise accounts.
  • Use the file I just uploaded as the template.
  • Do not send anything externally. Draft it only.
  • Add a spreadsheet version of the table.
  • Verify the numbers before finalizing.

​
Sharing

When sharing a session, choose whether to include files. You can also share a specific response, file, or folder when the reviewer does not need the full conversation. Files and generated artifacts can be opened, downloaded, saved to the Library, or shared from the preview pane and Library, depending on permissions. See Sharing and Collaboration.
