Chat & AI
Saving a chat response as a document
Turn a useful answer into a real document in your library, in a folder you choose or one Secretary picks.
Step 1
Press Save to documents
Any reply the AI wrote can be saved: a summary, a draft, a plan. Under the reply, press the floppy disk button. Its tooltip reads Save to documents, or Save image to documents on an image.
Step 2
Name it
The Save to Documents window opens with a File name box. Type a name, or press the sparkle at the end of the box to have one suggested from the content.

Step 3
Choose who files it
Manual lets you pick or create a folder yourself. Secretary reads the content, proposes a folder, and files it for you after you approve the plan.

Step 4
Manual: pick a folder
The Save to Documents window shows your folder tree with a search box and a new folder button. The chosen folder turns dark and the footer reads Saving to with its name. Press Save here. If you pick nothing, it goes to your personal folder, so nothing is lost and you can move it later.

Step 5
Secretary: approve the plan
Secretary shows an AI Placement Plan with the folder it proposes, marked New if it would create one. Open the row for its reasoning. Press Accept & Upload to file it, or Cancel to go back.

A quarterly plan with priorities and owners belongs with your other planning documents.
Step 6
Then it is just a document
Open it, search for it, share it, or pick it into another chat like anything you uploaded yourself. Text replies keep their formatting; a generated file is saved as that file.
Step 7
Images, charts and artifacts too
A generated image has Save to Docs on its corner rail, and a Visualization card or an artifact panel has its own Save to Documents. Export, next to Save under a reply, downloads a file instead of keeping it in Secretary.
Try it in Secretary, or create an account to get started.
