Clip

Summary

Evo Research now has a chat-only mode — drop a file in, start asking questions, no project wizard to fill out. It strips out collaboration and the richer project features to get you moving fast, but if the chat turns into something bigger you can convert it to a full project in one click. Recent chats live on the left, search covers older ones. Just shipped to prod after about a week in pre-prod.

All right, so a couple of features on Evo Research I'm going to show today. The first is what you're seeing now. This is chat only mode.

It's A simplified version of a project. So if I just flip over to a new project, you can see It's quite a lot of steps to fill in, quite a lot of things to get your head around. So the idea of the chat only mode is you can just get straight into it and do some valuable stuff.

So I'm just going to drag some sales orders onto there. and I'm just going to ask its questions straight away. So similar capabilities to what you can do in a project, but we've stripped some of this stuff out. So things like collaboration you can't do.

But you can also convert to a project. So if you do start with a simple chat and then it becomes a bigger thing and you want some of those richer capabilities, you can just go and convert it to a project. On the left hand side, you can see your recent chats.

You can search for chats if it was something you did a while ago. So that's chat only mode. It's been in pre-prod for about a week and I think it's just gone to prod.

The next thing.
