Answers only from the documents you give it, and cites the exact passage.
Working with a fixed set of documents you provide, and never straying from them.
It answers only from sources you upload, and cites the exact passage. Its refusal to fill gaps from general knowledge is the feature, not a limitation — it is why an answer here is checkable in a way a general assistant's is not.
The fundamentals — goal, context, constraints, format — work the same everywhere. Build one in the prompt lab
This is the tool for a fixed corpus: a module's readings, a case file, a set of reports, meeting transcripts. The workflow that works is gather elsewhere, analyse here. Its weakness is entirely upstream — a biased or incomplete source set produces a confident, well-cited, wrong picture.
Writing
Using only these sources, draft a briefing note. Attach the citation to every factual sentence, and list anything I asserted that the sources don't support.
Writing that literally cannot drift off the evidence you gave it.
Research
Across these sources, build a timeline of what happened and when. Flag any date the sources disagree on.
Cross-source synthesis with conflict detection, not just summarisation.
Coding
Using this documentation set, explain how this component is meant to be used, and quote the passage that says so.
Grounded in the docs you actually have, not a remembered or outdated version.
Learning
Turn these readings into 20 exam questions with answers, each citing the passage it came from.
Study material anchored to the exact source, checkable question by question.
Document analysis
What does this set of documents not tell me that I'd need to make this decision?
The gap-finding question, which only a source-grounded tool can answer honestly.
Brainstorming
Based only on these documents, what options were considered and which were dismissed, with the reasoning given?
Extracting the option space from the actual record, not inventing one.
Everyday
Summarise these meeting transcripts into decisions, owners, and open questions, citing where each was said.
A verifiable recap built directly from the transcripts you provided.
A Google product tied to your account, with the same personal-versus-Workspace distinction that applies elsewhere in that ecosystem. You are uploading whole documents rather than typing snippets, so the sensitivity of a notebook is usually higher than a chat — check your account type and your organisation's policy before uploading anything confidential.
