Synths can read, create, and work with documents in common business formats.

Supported Formats

  • PDF — Read and extract content from PDF files
  • Word — Read and create .docx documents
  • Excel — Read and work with spreadsheets
  • Markdown — The preferred format for AI workflows

What Synths Can Do

Read and understand documents — Upload a PDF or Word doc, and Synths can summarize it, answer questions about it, or extract specific information.

Create documents — Ask a Synth to draft a report, proposal, or any other document. It will produce formatted content you can review and edit.

Create diagrams — Synths can generate flowcharts, org charts, sequence diagrams, and other visualizations using Mermaid syntax.

Our Recommendation

MindFront encourages moving toward Markdown for documents where possible. Markdown is:

  • Lightweight and portable
  • Easy for AI to read and write
  • Version-controllable
  • Convertible to any other format

The Markdown Guide is an excellent resource, or ask any Synth to teach you.
