- Users working with Excel or CSV data
- People creating presentations, images or video from prompts
- Users who need cloud-based execution to continue after closing the app
Documented uses
- Research web sources and synthesize findings into reports
- Analyze spreadsheets and data and create visual insights or dashboards
- Generate structured slide decks from a prompt
- Write code within a broader task
- Create or edit images and generate video from text prompts
