Using NairoProductAssistant

Assistant

The Assistant is Nairo’s workspace for open-ended analysis, document questions and exploratory review.

It is designed for work where a team needs to investigate a question, review selected materials or prepare an initial analysis before deciding whether a more structured workflow is needed.

What the Assistant is for

Typical uses include:

  • Answering generic questions
  • Answering specific questions across selected Library folders or documents
  • Summarising material before a formal review
  • Preparing notes, drafts or structured outputs alongside analysis
  • Exploring a question before creating a Project or Insight Table review

Users can return to past Assistant conversations where conversation history is supported.

How the Assistant works

Starting a conversation

From the Assistant, users can:

  • Enter a prompt to begin analysis
  • Select context, such as Library folders or specific documents
  • Add Gmail or Outlook messages when those apps are connected for the workspace
  • Use internet search for public context
  • Choose a model where model selection is available
  • Select Create, then Doc, when the question should start a document
  • Send the message and receive a response

Context is set when a conversation is created. Users should start a new conversation if a different document set is required.

Email sources

Gmail and Outlook Mail appear in Integrations when the workspace has those apps.

In Assistant, Sources shows Gmail when Gmail is available. Outlook appears in Sources after Outlook Mail is connected.

Gmail search runs when the user asks. Nairo does not sync the mailbox. A Gmail selection can be a conversation or an attachment from that conversation. Outlook search uses the Inbox. Each message has a limit on how many mail sources can be attached.

Responses and references

Responses are generated with AI assistance.

Where citations or references are available, users can inspect the materials that informed the answer.

Citations and references help users review the output, but they do not guarantee that the answer is complete or correct.

Artifacts

Where supported, the Assistant can produce draft outputs alongside the conversation.

Examples may include:

  • Memos
  • Comparison notes
  • Structured summaries
  • Review notes
  • Draft internal outputs

These outputs should be reviewed and refined before use.

When a reply includes a document, View Document opens it in the side panel. New drafts can appear as Untitled Document until a title is set. Image under Create is marked Coming soon.

Conversation history

Past conversations can be listed and reopened where supported.

Titles may be generated automatically from the conversation content.

Users can retry a response or copy message content for use elsewhere in their process.

What the Assistant is not

The Assistant is not an autonomous decision-maker.

It is not guaranteed to be correct. Outputs require human review.

It is not a substitute for Projects when the team needs a persistent document workspace.

It is not a substitute for Insight Table when the team needs repeatable, comparable outputs across many documents.

Getting started

  2. Open the Assistant and select the folders or documents relevant to your question
  3. Ask a focused question
  4. Review available references before relying on the answer
  5. Open a Project or Insight Table if the work requires a persistent workspace or structured review
