Bring writing, research, and editing into one workspace
Multi-format documents (Markdown, Docx, LaTeX, PDF, PPT, Excel) + four AI modes + Skills / MCP, so you pick how the AI works based on what you need done: Smart Mode answers questions, Work Mode does the job for you, Writing Mode produces an entire long-form draft, and Learning Mode teaches you a subject until you have it.
Notes you create and results you save on your phone open just as they are back at your computer. All four conversation modes, the Research / Efficiency / Generation ribbon, Cloud Notes and document editing (Markdown, LaTeX, docx / pptx / xlsx / pdf) all come to the phone — and you can see the other devices on your account and drop them a line remotely.
Switch with one click in the same chat box: Smart Mode answers fast, Work Mode breaks a task down and runs it to the end, Writing Mode plans first and then drafts section by section, and Learning Mode builds a course, teaches, quizzes, and tracks mastery.
Ideal for academic writing, bids and proposals, report preparation, course study, knowledge capture, and everyday research.
Three key views explain how mode selection, content refinement, and workspace coordination fit together.
The mode switcher above the input box turns “chatting with AI” into four clearly defined ways of working. Each conversation locks to one mode, and history can be filtered by mode too.
DocEdit turns rewrites, polishing, and structural changes into proposal cards first. Right-click “Edit this passage with AI” in the editor to send a selection straight into Work Mode, and roll back everything written in the current run with one click.
Switch layouts at any time between researching, drafting, and reviewing proposals, so research, writing, and revision live in one continuous workflow.
Not just what the product can do, but how it helps you finish a document faster — or learn a subject faster.
Smart Mode calls no tools and simply answers what you ask. Work Mode takes the job, breaks it into steps, and runs them. Writing and Learning Modes each deliver their own kind of output.
Work Mode runs multiple tools in parallel, shows a live task checklist, keeps interim notes on long tasks, and lets you set a working directory per conversation.
Built for long-form work such as theses, reports, bids, and textbooks: outline first, write section by section, and check as you go — just like a human writer.
Resume from a breakpoint, roll back mistakes, mount Skills, and attach mind maps, flowcharts, data charts, and AI images to specific sections.
Tutoring, quizzes, and mastery tracking come together as a course you can keep going with, scheduled around your background, time, and preferred style.
Learning style, teaching style, and tone are all yours to set: from visual to Socratic, from formal textbook to plain talk.
Contract figures, unpublished data, and personal details can be visible only to you. Keys are held server-side and never stored locally, so the same account opens the file on any machine.
Encrypted content is never sent to the AI, ciphertext is stored as a code block so third-party editors cannot corrupt it, and keys live only in the current tab.
Rewrite whole passages, restructure by section, or refine a selection, with proposal cards that keep every change clear, reviewable, and reversible.
Bind a conversation to the current document so the AI always works from the latest content, unsaved changes included.
The Skills marketplace lets you browse, search, install, and create skills with a security review before installation. MCP extensions connect external servers for file access, shell execution, web scraping, and more.
--mcp-server command-line stdio modeIntroduced in V2.1.3 and carried forward in V3.0.0: in Work Mode, enabled skills are matched by keyword automatically — no manual selection needed.
Beyond Markdown, keep expanding how DOCX, LaTeX, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files are opened, edited, and previewed.
Ideal for formula-heavy papers, report layout, table work, and cross-format collaboration.
The ribbon is split into three tabs by purpose, and double-clicking collapses it to give the conversation more room.
Literature search adds Wanfang Data, sources become a dropdown with usage notes, and quick examples update with the selected source.
The sign-in dialog drops the platform dropdown — just type the team name and the platform is detected automatically; the AI panel title bar now shows only the team name, no platform.
Switching teams keeps the account, password, and current sign-in tab you had filled in; entering the wrong password or code 5 times in a row for the same team still locks it for 15 minutes.
A new Cloud Notes panel in the left sidebar: notes live in the cloud, double-click to open one in a tab, and edits save back automatically — no manual saving needed.
A cloud icon on the tab shows sync status; encrypted documents upload as ciphertext and unlock through the normal decryption flow, never treated as plain text.
Configure a task under the Cloud Notes "My Tasks" system folder, and it opens a Work Mode conversation automatically at the time you set and runs your prompt.
A missed run only catches up once after the app restarts, and signed-in devices won't race to run the same task twice; you're notified whether it succeeds or fails.
Turn AI from a chat assistant into a partner that discovers, executes, and delivers structured output.
Work Mode can call every built-in and local Skill plus MCP tools, chaining chart generation, file reading, terminal execution, knowledge-base Q&A, and literature search into one flow. Writing Mode can also mount Skills on specific section tasks.
Enabled skills step in by keyword, matching outline, search, chart, and file-analysis capabilities instead of just returning a block of advice.
Multiple read-only searches launch side by side while a live checklist shows which step is running. Long tasks take interim notes so nothing gets lost along the way.
Output files land in the conversation's working directory. Structured results drop straight into the editor, and DocEdit then refines sections, abstracts, and wording.
Every scenario here is backed by the usage tips and the latest release notes.
From four-mode conversations, autocomplete, and chart generation to multi-engine model access and cloud conversation history, everything stays in one workspace.
Smart Mode answers quick questions with the fastest response. Work Mode takes the job and moves it forward with web scraping, file parsing, and conversation context.
Keeps moving the moment you pause, ideal for long documents, standardized phrasing, and frequent rewrites.
Say what you want to learn, your starting level, and how much time you have; it builds a full course, then teaches chapter by chapter and quizzes you after each one.
Multiple devices signed in with the same account can hand off work to one another: see what conversations the other device has open, tell it to start or open one, type into its input box and send on its behalf, and watch its reply stream in character by character in real time.
Documents from Work / Writing / Learning Mode and all four research types save automatically into the matching system folder; the "My Tasks" folder holds scheduled tasks that run themselves and file their results per run.
Generate a diagram from a single sentence so ideas, processes, and relationships are easier to grasp. Writing Mode can attach charts directly to specific sections.
Qwen, OpenAI, Dify, FastAPI, OpenRouter, NVIDIA NIM, and more can all be connected.
Ollama, LM Studio, LocalAI, and other local options can form a private creative environment.
Four tiers — Economy / Basic / Performance / Ultimate. The “Auto” tier picks a model by mode and attachments and falls back within the same tier when one is unavailable.
Encrypted document content is never sent to the AI. Local deployment and key management are supported, and Skills go through a security review and high-risk confirmation before installation and execution.
Available for Windows, macOS, and mobile (Android / iOS / HarmonyOS), with automatic platform recommendations. An OnlyOffice Local installer is also provided.

Check for updates inside the app and upgrade with one click. System-wide announcements land in the title bar’s message center and pop up as desktop notifications when the app isn’t in the foreground, with critical announcements showing a confirmation dialog; the unread badge stays in sync across multiple open windows so you never see the same notice twice.
Keep quick start, workflows, configuration, release notes, and troubleshooting in one place.
Best for first-time users or anyone who wants to reset and streamline their writing workflow.
Cover prompts, models, autocomplete, and Skills setup if you want to push the AI stack further.
