Create a file
Ask GovTribe AI for a Word document, Excel workbook or PowerPoint presentation, from a template or from scratch.
Choose Create file at the top of Files, or on a federal contract opportunity or federal contract award. GovTribe AI creates the file in a conversation and saves it to Files for you to review, download or comment on.
Creating a file uses your account's normal GovTribe AI access and credits. Nothing is created until you send your request.
Choose a starting point
Create file opens a Beta gallery with two choices:
- From template starts from one of GovTribe's file templates. Each one has a preview and a short description.
- Start from scratch asks GovTribe AI to build a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file from your instructions.
Choose a template or format. Select one in the gallery. Use in chat opens.
Choose a conversation. Leave Conversation set to New chat, or choose an existing conversation to keep working there.
Describe the file you want. Edit the suggested message or write your own. Name the opportunity, company or project so the result is specific. You can also ask for a blank working copy of a template.
Send your request. GovTribe AI may ask for anything it still needs. You don't need to pick a skill first.
Review the result. Download the file, or comment on the draft and ask for changes.
File templates lists every template, what each contains and what GovTribe AI needs to complete it.
If the gallery can't load, select Try again. If sending fails, your request stays in the dialog so you can try again. A template that's temporarily unavailable is disabled.
Adapt a template to an opportunity or award
Open a federal contract opportunity or federal contract award, then select Create file in its header. Choose a template, and the suggested message asks GovTribe AI to adapt it to that record using its source documents. You can edit the message and choose a new or existing conversation before sending.
From Files, the suggested message is more general and asks what you want to do with the template. Include the target opportunity, company or project in your request.
Start from the Files tab
On New Chat, select Files below the composer.
Recent files shows up to five of your files, newest first. Select one to open it. View all files opens Files showing only your files; clear that filter to see everyone's.
Built for you can suggest a file that fits your current work, marked Based on a recent chat. Create prepares editable instructions in that conversation, and nothing happens until you send them. When there's nothing to suggest, Get started offers general ideas.
Personalized suggestions need both Access GovTribe Data and Full Conversation Recall turned on in Tune GovTribe AI. Even then, a suggestion isn't guaranteed.
Use the thumbs-up to mark a suggestion useful, or the dismiss control to hide it. Dismissing one doesn't delete its chat or files.
The Templates panel offers four shortcuts. View all and Create your own open the full gallery.
If creating files is blocked, you'll see Files require credits to use. Enable credits links to your account's credit settings when that option is available to you. Your recent files stay available either way.
Suggestions change over time, as described in How often do homepage suggestions change?.
