Blocks and Diagrams
Editable blocks inside the chat: text you can revise in place, plus mind maps, flowcharts, and timelines.
Not everything needs a file. Blocks are structured, editable objects that live inline in the conversation: ask for "an intro paragraph in an editable text block" and you get a focusable block you can type into directly, request AI revisions on ("start with a stronger hook"), and step through with version arrows — draft workspace without leaving the chat.
Diagram blocks turn Work into a thinking tool. It renders mind maps, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, timelines, user journeys, and quadrant charts from plain descriptions: "map this project as a flowchart", "turn these meeting notes into a mind map." Riley's favorite demo is meta: a sequence diagram of how Work itself processes a task. When you're not sure what's available, just ask — "list all the block types you support" — and Work enumerates its writing, email, data, media, and file blocks.
Rule of thumb: blocks for thinking and drafting (fast, inline, versioned), files for deliverables (portable, shareable, formatted). A mind map block to plan the deck; a PPTX artifact to present it.
