Ask your first question
Five things worth trying first, and how to phrase a request so the answer is actually useful.
Where to type
The message box sits along the bottom of the screen. Type into it and press Enter. That is the whole interface — everything else on the page is there to show you what came back.
The paperclip beside the box attaches a file, so you can ask about a document rather than describe it.
Five things to try first
These are chosen because each one shows you something different about what Orsola does.
- Give it something to read. Attach a PDF or a spreadsheet and ask: "Summarise this in five bullet points, then tell me anything that looks like a deadline."
- Make it write something you would have had to write. "Draft a short, friendly reply to this saying I can do Thursday but not Wednesday."
- Ask for something later. "Every Friday at 4pm, remind me to file my expenses for the week."
- Ask it to compare. "What are the trade-offs between these two options for a team of four? Answer as a table."
- Ask what it knows. "What can you actually do for me, and what do you need from me to do it?"
Say what you want back, not just the topic
The single biggest difference between a vague answer and a useful one is telling Orsola what a good answer looks like. Three things do most of the work:
- The outcome. Not "the Q3 report" but "the three things in the Q3 report I should raise with my manager".
- The background it cannot know. Who it is for, what has already been decided, what you are not allowed to change.
- The shape. A table, five bullets, two paragraphs, an email ready to send. Ask and you get it.
Compare "tell me about this contract" with "I am signing this contract as the buyer. List anything that costs me money after the first year, as a table with the clause number." Same document, completely different answer.
Ask again rather than starting over
If the answer is close but not right, say so in the same conversation: "shorter", "more formal", "you missed the renewal clause", "do that again but for the German office". Orsola still has everything from earlier in the conversation, including any file you attached, so a correction is usually one short sentence.
Starting a new conversation throws that context away. Do it when you genuinely change subject, not when you want a different answer to the same question.
Where to go next
The sidebar has more than one agent in it — choose the right agent for the job explains what each one is for. And if you asked for something that has not come back yet, where your answers and results show up says where to look.
