Documents

Generate real office files, read and view them anywhere in Cheqq, and edit presentations on a live canvas.

Cheqq works with documents in three directions: it generates real office files as deliverables, it reads the ones you upload, and it displays both in the app — including a full editing canvas for presentations.

Generate documents

Ask in chat, or from an Agent-mode task, for the deliverable you need:

PDF and Word (.pdf / .docx) — reports, briefs, proposals. Headings, lists, tables, and emphasis all survive into an editable Word file; the PDF is laid out by a real layout engine, so page breaks and typography behave like a document a business would send.
PowerPoint (.pptx) — a deck built from a slide plan: title slides, content slides, metrics, diagrams, and native Office charts.
Excel (.xlsx) — formatted numbers stay numeric so they sort and filter correctly in Excel, with frozen header rows and auto-filters already applied.

Cheqq supplies the content; the renderers own the formatting, so output is consistent without you specifying fonts and margins. Generated images can be embedded directly into a deck — ask for a one-pager with a hero image and both arrive together.

Spreadsheets are an export, collections are where data lives

If you're building data you'll keep working with, Cheqq steers it into a collection — a spreadsheet is the right shape for handing data to someone else, not for managing it.

Read uploaded documents

Attach a Word document, PowerPoint deck, spreadsheet, or PDF in chat and ask about it — summarize it, pull numbers out of it, or turn a spreadsheet into a collection. Extraction runs server-side, so every model can work with the contents, and the same applies to office files stored in a record's attachment fields.

View documents in the app

Office files preview faithfully wherever they appear — the Files page, file links in chat, and collection attachment fields:

Word renders client-side from the original bytes, so real formatting survives rather than being flattened to text.
PowerPoint pages through every slide.
Spreadsheets display as tables with sheet tabs.
PDF uses your browser's native viewer, which already does selection, search, and zoom well.

The presentation canvas

A generated deck opens on a live canvas drawn from the document's own structure — the same geometry the exported PPTX is written from, so the canvas and the downloaded file can't disagree.

Direct manipulation — select, drag, resize, and rotate slide objects; arrow keys nudge. Moving a diagram node brings its connectors along.
Insert and style — add text and shapes from the toolbar; a contextual toolbar beside the selection carries that object's own properties. Fills address the deck's theme slots, so recoloring one object survives a restyle of the whole deck.
One gesture, one version — every completed edit is a single entry in version history. Undo and redo walk that history without ever rewriting it, so no state the document passed through is lost.
Live charts — charts render from the slide's series data as you look at them, and the exported Office chart is written from the same numbers.

Version history

Every document keeps an append-only version history. Compare two versions as a readable difference, read an earlier version in full before deciding, and restore it — restoring creates a new version rather than rewriting the timeline, so it's never a dead end.

Markdown and text files open in the document editor instead, which has its own autosave and versioning behavior. For uploading and organizing files generally, see Files.
