Moon AI creates three kinds of content: office files (Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint) delivered below the answer, artifacts (pages, apps, charts) shown in a panel next to the conversation, and documents you rework in the editor.
Create a Word, PDF, Excel or PowerPoint fileLink to the Create a Word, PDF, Excel or PowerPoint file section
- Open the “+” menu › “Create…”, then pick “Word document”, “PowerPoint presentation”, “Excel spreadsheet” or “PDF document”. Other ways: type
/word,/powerpoint,/excelor/pdf, or click “Create document” on the home screen. - A pill shows the chosen format, and the message box prompts you with, for example, “Describe the Word document…”.
- Describe the document: its purpose, its structure, its content. Attach any source files you need.
- Send.
The file is delivered below the answer. Click its card to open or download it; it is also stored in your Library.
A one-page Word summary of the team meeting below: decisions, action items with owner and due date, open questions.These files are prepared by the conversation’s isolated computer. When it isn’t available, the menu item is grayed out with the reason, for example “Needs the computer” or “Unavailable in a confidential chat”. See The isolated computer.
A presentation also opens in a panel where you edit it slide by slide: see Presentations. Spreadsheets and PDFs are edited right in the conversation: see Spreadsheets and PDFs.
ArtifactsLink to the Artifacts section
An artifact is content that Moon AI writes and shows in a panel next to the conversation: a web page, a small app, a chart, a diagram, a vector image, a Markdown document or a code file. Ask for it in your message: “build me a home page for my restaurant”, “a chart of these sales by month”, “a simple loan calculator”.
The artifacts panelLink to the The artifacts panel section
While it is being written, the panel shows the text as it comes in, under Writing “title”, then the final version. In the conversation, a card opens the artifact again. The ⋯ menu at the top of the conversation › “Artifacts” also reopens the panel.
| Panel element | What it does |
|---|---|
| “Preview” / “Code” | Shows the rendered result or the source code. |
| “Previous version” / “Next version” | Steps through the versions (“Version 2 of 3”). Every change Moon AI makes creates a version. |
| “Copy to clipboard” | Copies the content. |
| “Download artifact” | Saves the file. |
| “Open in full screen” | Enlarges the preview. |
| “All artifacts” | Lists the conversation’s artifacts. |
The “Open artifacts automatically” setting (“Settings” › “General” › “Conversations”) opens the panel as soon as an artifact is created.
Fix an artifactLink to the Fix an artifact section
When the preview runs into errors, the panel says so (“1 error in the preview”, for example) with a “Fix” button: the errors are sent to Moon AI, which fixes them and creates a new version. You can also ask for a change in the conversation: “make the title blue”, “add a Total column”.
Change one specific elementLink to the Change one specific element section
For a web page or an app:
- In the panel header, click “Select”.
- Click an element in the preview.
- In the “What do you want to change?” bubble, describe the change, then click “Send”.
Moon AI updates that element of the artifact.
Preview securityLink to the Preview security section
An artifact runs in an isolated frame with no network access: it can’t load outside content or send your data anywhere. When the conversation contains outside content (web pages, files, tool results), an artifact doesn’t start on its own: “Not run automatically”. Check its code, then click “Run”.
Publish an artifact with a public linkLink to the Publish an artifact with a public link section
You can publish a page, an app, a vector image, a Markdown document or a code file: anyone with the link can open it, without an account, on a site separate from Moon AI. Publishing is included in the paid plans: see the plans.
- In the artifact panel header, click “Publish”.
- Moon Blur scans the content first. If it finds personal data, the window says so (“This content seems to contain personal data”): read it over, then check “I checked the content and it can be made public.” Images are not scanned: check them yourself.
- When the artifact was written after a web page, a file or a tool result, you are asked to confirm a second time.
- Choose whether visitors can copy the page into their own account (“Allow copying into Moon AI”).
- Publish, then click “Copy link” or “Open page”.
The published page is a frozen copy: your later changes don’t show up on it. When the page is out of date, “Update with the current version” publishes the version you are viewing. The window also shows the number of views.
To take the page down, click “Stop publishing”. The link stops working and the published copy is deleted; publishing again gives you a new link. Your published pages are listed in “Settings” › “Data and privacy” › “Published pages”.
The editor: rework an answerLink to the The editor: rework an answer section
The editor opens an editable copy of a long answer, or of a Markdown document, next to the conversation. The answer shown in the conversation never changes.
Open the editorLink to the Open the editor section
Below a long answer, open “More actions” › “Open in editor” (“An editable copy next to the conversation. The answer does not change.”).
The editor has three modes (“Editing mode”):
| Mode | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| “Document” | Visual formatting |
| “Markdown” | Plain text with Markdown syntax |
| “Preview” | Read only |
A document that “Document” mode can’t keep exactly as it is (formulas, aligned tables, HTML) opens in “Markdown”, with a message explaining why.
Edit and saveLink to the Edit and save section
- Type directly in the document. “Undo” and “Redo” reverse or replay your changes.
- “Save” (Ctrl/⌘S) creates a version. The editor also saves automatically after 2 minutes without typing, or when you leave the document.
- Click the document title to rename it.
Rework a passage with MoonLink to the Rework a passage with Moon section
- Select a passage.
- The “Edit selection with Moon” bar appears (or press Ctrl/⌘J).
- Choose “Shorter”, “Longer”, “More formal”, “Simpler” or “Fix spelling and grammar”, or describe the change in “What should change?”
- The “Suggestion from Moon” appears: “Changes” shows the words removed and added, “Result” the final text.
- “Accept” replaces the passage; “Cancel” leaves it as it was.
The passage is protected by Moon Blur: “Personal data in the passage is masked before it reaches the model, then put back.” If Moon changes the target of a link, the proposal flags it.
VersionsLink to the Versions section
“Version history” lists every version, its author (you, Moon, a rework, a restore) and its date. Pick a version to read it, then “Restore this version”: it becomes the latest one, and nothing is deleted. A document keeps up to 100 versions.
ExportLink to the Export section
The editor’s “Export” menu offers:
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| “Markdown file (.md)”, “Word document (.docx)”, “PDF document (.pdf)” | Downloads the document in that format. |
| “Save to Notes” | Creates a note with the document (see Notes). |
| “Google Docs” | Copies the document so you can paste it into a new document. |
| “Create in Google Docs” | When the Google Docs connector is on: creates the document in your Google Drive, after you confirm. |
