🤖 1. Entry Points for Using AI Copilot
Pop provides three main entry points:

② Left Sidebar → Copilot Global Chat
Suitable for:
- Content creation
- Open‑ended questions
- Multi‑turn conversations
- Brainstorming
③ AI Nodes Inside Workflows
Used for automated content generation, such as:
- Report generation
- Multi‑section text processing
- Automatic summarizing and extraction
🔍 2. What Can You Ask AI?
AI can help you complete a wide range of tasks:
📘 Document‑Related Questions

🚀 3. Tips for Improving Your Prompts
| Technique | Example |
|---|---|
| Define the role | "As an engineer, explain the following error…" |
| Provide context | "Based on the above PDF, summarize the key points…" |
| Specify the format | "Summarize in three bullet points" / "Generate a table" |
| Limit scope | "Only explain the content on page 3" |
| Give examples | "Follow this example and generate again…" |
💡 The more guidance you provide, the more stable the output.
But even without prompt skills, Pop can still give accurate answers.
📌 4. Visualization Features for AI‑Generated Content
Many modules in Pop support AI‑generated outputs:
- Charts
- Files
- Workflow variables
- Highlighted content
This enables AI to act not just as a chatbot but as a true work partner.
🧩 5. How Does AI Use Documents or the Knowledge Base?
The top of the AI panel shows the current context:
- 📄 Document: AI can read the content of the current document
- 📚 Knowledge Base: AI uses retrieved segments to answer
- 🌐 Global: AI replies based only on conversation, without referencing materials
You can manually switch the context:
