Blast Office’s AI is versatile and powerful. Here are 10 practical things you can ask it to do across different parts of the application.
1. Research a Topic from the Web
Ask the AI to research any topic using web search. It will find current information, summarize findings, and provide links to sources.
“Research the latest trends in renewable energy storage technology”
2. Generate a Complete Document
Describe what you need and the AI will create a full document — proposals, reports, emails, or any other document type.
“Write a project proposal for migrating our infrastructure to the cloud”
3. Analyze a Dataset
Load a CSV or Excel file and ask questions in plain English. The AI writes SQL queries, executes them, and presents the results.
“What are the top 5 products by revenue in Q4?”
4. Create a Presentation from a Document
Turn any document into a slide deck automatically. The AI structures your content into clear, well-organized slides.
“Create a 10-slide presentation from this quarterly report”
5. Write and Execute Code
The AI can write Lua scripts to perform calculations, data transformations, or other programmatic tasks.
“Calculate the monthly payment for a $300,000 mortgage at 6.5% over 30 years”
6. Conduct a Literature Review
Point the AI at a folder of research papers and ask it to produce a literature review with citations and analysis.
“Review these 20 papers and summarize the key findings on machine learning in healthcare”
7. Rewrite Content for Different Audiences
Select text in a document and ask the AI to rewrite it for a different audience, tone, or reading level.
“Rewrite this technical explanation for a non-technical executive audience”
8. Build a Knowledge Base
Upload your company documents and create a searchable knowledge base. Then ask the AI questions grounded in your specific data.
“Based on our employee handbook, what is the policy on remote work?”
9. Compare and Contrast
Ask the AI to analyze multiple options, technologies, or approaches and present a structured comparison.
“Compare PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite for our use case: a desktop application with local storage”
10. Generate Visualizations from Data
Load data and ask the AI to create charts, graphs, and plots to help you understand trends and patterns.
“Create a line chart showing our monthly revenue trend over the past 12 months”
