Getting started
Simplesurface is an AI-native workspace for analyst work in real Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, in your browser. Nothing is converted, and the formatting survives.
Creating your workspace
Choose New workspace, give it a name, and you land on the canvas. A workspace holds your research, files, canvas blocks, Moe threads, and skill runs, all for one project in one place.
The canvas
Add a block with the + button or by typing a slash. Blocks can be text, tables, notes, or files, and you drag them around to arrange them. To bring AI into any block, click the ø. Moe reads that block and its neighbours and returns the result as a new block, which you can keep, edit, or drop straight into a document.
Meeting Moe
Moe is your AI analyst. Ask it to research a topic, read a document, pull a table, or draft a section. It proposes edits and waits for your approval before anything lands. Every claim it makes is cited, so you can click through to the source and check it.
Opening and editing Office files
Choose Open file and upload a .docx, .xlsx, or .pptx. It opens in a native editor tab with formatting, formulas, comments, and revision history intact. Edit it as usual, then download it back in its original format. You can keep several tabs open at once and switch between them without losing your place.
Running a skill
Open the Library and browse or search for a skill, like Market Sizing or SWOT. You see the estimated cost and the model before you run. Confirm, and the output arrives as a canvas block or a document draft. To use your own keys, add them under Settings, then API Keys.
Next steps
Invite a colleague on the Organisation plan, build a custom skill in the Studio, or upload a PDF and have Moe pull a table out of it. If you get stuck, write to [support@simplesurface.ai].
