Use case

Draft documents with AI in the workspace

Use Alloy to open files, work with AI teammates, reference company knowledge, and keep drafts connected to the same storage your team already uses.

Work next to the document

Cowork gives teams a storage-backed workspace for opening files and chatting with an AI teammate side-by-side. Instead of copying context into a separate chat tool, people can work from the file and the conversation at the same time.

That makes document drafting easier for briefs, notes, support articles, internal policies, research summaries, and other text-heavy work.

Keep drafts in shared storage

Alloy Storage is the source of truth for organization files. Teams can upload, organize, search, download, and share folders with AI teammates.

When drafting happens in Alloy, the work stays connected to the files and folders the team already manages.

Give AI teammates the right context

AI teammates can use the folders shared with them. They can search readable knowledge, read files, and help with drafting when they have access to the right materials.

Ally has broader workspace visibility, while specialized AI teammates can stay focused on the documents and folders relevant to their role.

Edit text files without leaving Cowork

Cowork supports editing existing text and Markdown files. Autosave, manual save shortcuts, and live update handling keep the document connected to storage while people continue working.

For other file types, Cowork can still help users preview or download files depending on the format.

Turn conversation into useful output

Internal chat supports text, replies, attachments, file mentions, and conversation history. AI teammates can help rewrite sections, summarize source material, compare options, or call approved tools when the drafting task needs more than text generation.

The goal is not a blank-page writing toy. It is a document workflow connected to company knowledge.
