Your First Deliverable: A Research Deck
Commission a consulting-style presentation with deep research — the canonical first Work task.
The classic first run: a research-heavy presentation. It exercises the whole pipeline — web research across dozens of sources, structured thinking, and a polished PPTX at the end — and it's impressive enough to recalibrate what you delegate from here on.
Flip the toggle and commission the deck
Start a new chat, switch to Work mode, and give it a goal with a style anchor and a research mandate. Riley's version produced 19 slides from 87 researched websites in under 14 minutes.
promptMake a McKinsey-style presentation on AI predictions for the rest of the year. Do in-depth research across current sources, and include plenty of graphics and timelines.VerifyThe agent starts a cloud run — you'll see it searching and assembling. Let it work; don't babysit.Do something else while it runs
This is the workflow shift: a run in progress doesn't need you. Open a second chat and fire off another task, or go answer email. Work runs in parallel with you.
VerifyYou did not watch the spinner for thirteen minutes.Open the artifact and inspect it
The finished PPTX appears in the side panel. Check structure first (are these the right sections?), then spot-check three factual claims against their sources.
VerifyYou can name what's right and what's wrong with the deck — specifically, per slide.Request targeted revisions
Double-click into the artifact and give slide-by-slide feedback in plain language — Work handles scoped edits without rebuilding the deck.
promptSlide 2: replace the pill graphics with a timeline. Slide 8: this block is hard to read — change the layout and darken the background. Everything else stays as is.VerifyRevisions come back with only the named slides changed.
