Conversations & Natural Language
How to Talk to Polaris AI
Polaris AI understands natural language. You don't need special syntax or commands. Just talk like you're speaking to a colleague.
The Basics
Be conversational:
"Send an email to john@example.com about the meeting tomorrow"
"What's on my calendar today?"
"Create a new Google Doc for the project plan"
(Not: "action=send_email&recipient=john")Be specific when helpful:
"Send a generic email" is unclear. Instead:
"Send an email to Sarah about the project update"Use your own words:
"Send John a message"
"Email John"
"Compose a message to John"
(All understood! Pick whichever feels natural)Multi-Turn Conversations
Polaris AI understands context across multiple messages:
You: "Create a document about marketing strategies"
Polaris AI: "Document created! What would you like me to add?"
You: "Add a section on social media"
Polaris AI: (Knows you mean the document we just created)
You: "Make it a shared document"
Polaris AI: (Still in the same conversation, knows which document)The conversation continues — you don't need to repeat yourself.

(Which person? When did we talk about them?)Impossible task:

(Google isn't a person, need a specific email address)Polaris AI Will Ask For Clarification
If your message is unclear, Polaris AI asks questions:
You: "Send an email"
Polaris AI: "I'd love to help! A few questions:
1. Who should I send it to?
2. What should the subject be?
3. Any specific message?"Just answer the questions naturally, and Polaris AI will proceed.

Be conversational — Use natural language and your own words
Add context — "Email Sarah about the project (the one we discussed Monday)"
Ask for clarification — "Do you mean john@company.com or john@home.com?"
Review previews — Always check before confirming important actions
Reference previous actions — "Like the email I sent yesterday"
Use pronouns — "Reply to them" works if context is clear
Mention time — "Tomorrow at 2 PM", "This Friday", "In 3 hours"
Be polite — You can say "Please" and "Thank you" — Polaris AI appreciates it!
