Home is where you start working in aura. After you connect at least one source in Connections, open Home, choose a mode, and send your first prompt. From there, you can move into Search, Glance, Prism, or Reminders when you need a more focused workflow.

Start with chat

Home opens aura’s chat starter. Pick the connector mode that matches the source you want to work with, type your prompt, and aura creates a workspace around that context.

Modes that depend on connectors stay unavailable until that source is ready. Once at least one connector is connected, you can start from Home immediately and let aura guide the next step.

Use Just Chatting for general help

Choose Just Chatting when you want to talk to aura without locking into one source first. This is the fastest way to ask a question, think through a task, or decide which connector to use next.

If you turn on the web selector, aura can also pull in current web results. Leave it off when you want a normal assistant-style conversation without web context.

Choose the right mode

Outlook

Use Outlook when you want email and calendar context from Microsoft. It is the right starting point for inbox triage, meeting prep, and drafting replies from Outlook threads.

To get started, connect Microsoft in Connections, then return to Home and choose Outlook. If you want a lighter email briefing before chatting, open Glance.

Gmail

Use Gmail when your work lives in Google email. It helps you search mailbox history, find follow-ups, and draft replies with Gmail context.

To get started, connect Google in Connections, then return to Home and choose Gmail. If you want a quick summary of what needs attention first, open Glance.

Notion

Use Notion when you want workspace knowledge, plans, notes, and internal documentation in context. This is a good fit for finding a page, summarizing a doc, or turning notes into a working draft.

To get started, connect Notion in Connections, then come back and choose Notion.

Teams

Use Teams when you need conversation context from Microsoft collaboration channels. It works best for reviewing recent discussions, pulling out action items, and drafting short updates.

To get started, connect Microsoft in Connections, then return to Home and choose Teams.

Jira

Use Jira when your next action depends on project status, issues, blockers, or sprint work. It is a good mode for daily summaries, issue lookup, and writing cleaner issue drafts.

To get started, connect Atlassian in Connections, then return to Home and choose Jira.

Prism

Use Prism when you want answers grounded in selected documents. Prism works best when you narrow scope first and ask aura to answer only from the files you selected.

To get started, update a document in Prism, wait for documents to complete the processing; then choose Prism from Home or your active conversation from history and select up to 3 documents before you send your first prompt.

Move into focused workflows

Use Home when you want to start fast. Move into the dedicated surfaces when you already know the job:

• Open Search for direct lookup across connected sources (this is a light keyword-based search, more features coming soon.)
• Open Glance for a quick email briefing
• Open Prism for document-grounded answers
• Open Reminders to capture and track work

Starter prompts

• Show me what needs my reply today.
• Search the web for the latest updates on this topic and summarize them.
• Find the Notion page most relevant to Q2 planning.
• Summarize the key points from my selected Prism documents.

Tip

The fastest useful setup is one email connector plus one knowledge connector. That gives Home enough context for both live chat and follow-up workflows.
