AI Workshop

Material first, then the text

A solid proposal or a clean report doesn't come from a single prompt. In the AI Workshop you gather the relevant information from Alcilla, add external files, and give the AI a concrete brief. The result is a draft you can refine.

Gather knowledge and make something from it.

The workshop taps into everything in the Alcilla index and accepts external files on top. You choose what belongs, clarify details in the chat, and give a writing brief at the end. Gathering and writing stay in one workspace.

Material chat to clarify questions

In the chat on the right, you query the linked material: What was agreed? What numbers are in the documents? What's still open? You know what you're building on before the draft appears.

Writing brief and draft

In the document area, describe what you need. The AI creates a draft based on the selected material, which you then refine.

Omnisearch across the entire index

Instead of searching through multiple modules: Omnisearch finds emails, notes, documents, and transcripts across the full Alcilla index. Results land in the material area with one click.

Link existing material

Email, document, note, transcript: If it's already in Alcilla, just link it. No re-uploading, no copying.

External files, web pages, or text

What's not in the index yet comes in via upload, web address, or pasted text. Internal and external sources are then available together.

You control the context

Not every task needs all the material. You choose whether the draft is based on individual sources or the full material set of the workshop.

Organize large documents into chapters

Split longer documents into individual chapters, edit them separately, rename them, and rearrange their order. This keeps even extensive drafts clearly structured and easy to navigate.

Keep chapters in context with synopses

The AI creates a summary synopsis for each chapter. When the context becomes too large, it uses these synopses instead of the full chapter text.

One workshop per project

Whether proposal, report, or concept: Every task has its own space where material and result stay together.

Keep working in the editor

The draft appears in the document editor. Set headings, build lists, insert tables — all from the toolbar.

Save to the project

Save the finished document. It's available in the project and ready for further editing or handoff.

First determine the material, then let it write

The information for a good document rarely lives in one place. Part of it is in the project, another part in emails, yet another in a PDF that was forwarded by mail. The workshop turns these scattered sources into a deliberate context and from that, a text.

Use existing information

Alcilla has already indexed it, the workshop links it. No re-uploading for every new document.

Reading and writing as separate steps

On the right, you search and clarify. In the center, the document takes shape. Two things that don't work well at the same time.

Only the context that counts

You decide which sources feed into the draft.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create a workshop

    Empty AI Workshop with the Create new workshop action

    New workshop for the task. Material, questions, and draft now share one space.

  2. 2

    Link material

    Open plus menu in the material area with project, folder, and document selection

    A whole project, a folder, or individual documents, notes, transcripts, or chat histories. Whatever’s in Alcilla, you can link it.

  3. 3

    Search with Omnisearch

    Omnisearch dialog for finding and importing information already in Alcilla

    The search scans emails, tasks, notes, transcripts, and files in the index. Take over matching results directly.

  4. 4

    Add external sources

    Options for uploading a file as well as adding a web page or text

    Files that aren’t in the index yet can simply be uploaded. Web addresses and pasted text are also possible.

  5. 5

    Clarify questions

    Material chat on the right side of the workshop with a question about the linked sources

    Query your sources in the material chat on the right, before writing, during, or after. The chat also knows the current draft.

  6. 6

    Give the brief

    Center brief field of the AI Workshop with Generate draft button

    Describe the task in the center field and start the writing process.

  7. 7

    Review and save

    Central workshop editor with formatting toolbar and Save to project function

    Read the AI draft in the editor, adjust structure, and fix content.

Sources the workshop understands

Through search and material selection, the workshop taps into the full Alcilla index. On top of that: external files, web pages, and free text.
