Your files can’t give Proto instructions

Proto only takes instructions from you. If a file contains text telling Proto to do something, it’s ignored.

Example requests

  • “Summarize this contract and list the renewal terms.”
  • “Compare these two price lists and flag every change.”
  • “Import this spreadsheet into the Suppliers table.”
