Artifacts and files

Spiich has a private per-user workspace for files. Anything you upload goes there, anything it produces lands there, and both are reachable from the pane beside your conversation.

Attach a file

1. 1

   Add the file

   Click the paperclip (Attach files) in the composer, drag the file anywhere onto the page until Drop files here appears, or just paste it. Screenshots paste straight from your clipboard.

2. 2

   Wait for the upload

   Each attachment shows as a removable pill. The send button spins while an upload is still in flight and returns to the arrow when it is done.

3. 3

   Say what you want done with it

   Type the request, for example turn this into a one-page summary deck, and press Enter.

4. 4

   Collect the result

   Finished files appear in the Files tab of the Artifacts pane beside the chat, with a download button.

What Spiich can do with a file

It reads Excel workbooks, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, PDFs, CSVs and images, and it produces the same kinds of thing back: .xlsx workbooks, .docx documents, .pptx decks, PDFs, CSVs, charts and images.

Useful combinations:

• Hand it a messy prospect list and ask it to clean, dedupe and enrich it, then write the result back as a workbook.
• Hand it a call transcript or a set of notes and ask for a summary deck.
• Hand it a photo of a whiteboard or a business card and ask it to create the contact in your CRM.
• Hand it last quarter's export and ask which accounts have gone quiet since.

The work log tells you when it is reading or writing a file: Read file, Write file, Edit file, List files.

The Artifacts pane

Bigger outputs do not clutter the conversation. They open in a resizable pane next to it, each as its own tab you can switch between, close, or add back from the + menu. A small Artifacts panel in the top right of the chat lists everything the conversation produced, so you can reopen something after closing it. Minimize artifact pane gives the conversation the full width back.

The Files tab lists your workspace files, both your uploads and anything Spiich generated. Images and PDFs preview inline. Anything else shows This file can't be previewed with Download it to open on your device.

Email drafts get their own treatment: an editable card in the conversation with To, Cc, Subject and Body, usually with more than one tone variant. Edit any field, reset to the original, copy the whole email, or open it prefilled in Gmail, Outlook web or your desktop mail client. Spiich never sends it. See Follow-up emails.

Limits

• One file must be under 14.9 MB. Larger files are refused with a File too large message naming the exact limit. Compress it, export a narrower range, or convert it to a lighter format.
• File names are truncated to 200 bytes when stored.
• Spiich can only reach files in your own workspace. It does not read your local drive, and it does not install software.
• It confirms before deleting or overwriting a file in your workspace, so an accidental instruction does not quietly destroy something.
• Files you upload are yours, not the workspace's. Another member does not see them.

If something goes wrong

• `File too large`. The file is over the 14.9 MB per-file limit. Split it, compress it, or export fewer rows.
• The send button spins and will not send. An attachment is still uploading. Wait for the pill to finish, or remove a stuck attachment with its X and try again.
• A generated file is not in the chat. Open the Artifacts panel in the top right, then the Files tab. Everything Spiich produced in that conversation is listed there.
• `This file can't be previewed`. The format has no inline preview. Use the download button and open it on your device.
• An artifact will not load. Close it and reopen it from the Artifacts panel, or ask Spiich to regenerate it.
