THE FULL PICTURE

What can you
get done?

Start with a request, or open a tool yourself. Here is what Docavelle can do, one task at a time.

FOR EXAMPLE, JUST ASK

“Resize these photos to 1600 pixels, convert them to WebP, and put them in a ZIP.”

“Ask or open” tools can be used by the assistant for supported requests. “Open directly” features have their own controls. Some requests need you to choose pages or provide more detail.
