Dispatch now works with more of your files

Attach a PDF, a Word doc, a spreadsheet, a zip, or source code and Dispatch can open it, pull out what you need, and hand back the result.

Dispatch can now open and work with far more of the files you attach. Until now it could read images and plain text at a glance; now you can hand it a PDF, a .docx, an .xlsx, a .csv, a zip archive, or source code, and it will open the file, work through it, and bring back what you asked for.

That means you can drop a contract PDF and ask for the key dates, attach a spreadsheet and ask for a summary of one column, forward a zip and ask what's inside, or share a document and ask Dispatch to convert it. The work happens inside a single request, and anything worth keeping comes back to you as an attachment.

What you'll notice

  • More attachments just work. PDFs, Word and Excel files, CSVs, archives, and code files are now fair game for summarizing, extracting, reshaping, or converting.
  • One-off file tasks happen inline. Pulling tables out of a PDF, reshaping a CSV, unzipping and inspecting an archive: ask once and the result comes back in the same conversation.
  • Results you'll want to keep are handed back as a downloadable attachment; the scratch work in between is discarded.

How it works

When a request needs it, Dispatch does this work in a private, single-use environment that exists only for that request and is thrown away the moment it finishes. It runs separately from your connected accounts and is never given your credentials; it only ever sees the files you attached. Actions on your real systems still pass through the permission gate, exactly as before. Most requests never need any of this, so you'll only notice it when a file actually calls for it.

Notes

  • This is on for everyone, replacing the earlier limited preview.
  • Files you attached earlier in a conversation can be reused in later requests, so follow-ups keep working.
