1.8 Using the AI Assistant for Asking Questions

AI Copilot is one of the most powerful features of Pop. You can use it on any page: the document reader, knowledge base, workflows, or even inside application interfaces.


🤖 1. Entry Points for Using AI Copilot

Pop provides three main entry points:

① AI Panel on the Right Side of Documents

Read and ask questions at the same time — perfect for technical documents, papers, and reports.

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

Please summarize the main points of this PDF.
Explain this paragraph in simpler terms.
What are the key highlights on this page?

📚 Knowledge‑Based Questions

Which file in the knowledge base mentions the login process?
What might cause a payment failure?
Find all paragraphs related to "user permissions".

✍️ Creative Tasks

Rewrite this in a more formal style.
Reorganize the paragraphs for me.
Generate a customer support response.

🔧 Work‑Related Tasks & Data Processing

🚀 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:

AI Panel → Source Selection
