Documents
Create rich, block-based documents with real-time collaboration and built-in AI assistance.
Overview
Documents in Wyatt use a block-based editor, similar to tools like Notion. Every piece of content -- a paragraph, heading, image, or table -- is its own block that you can move, edit, and rearrange independently. This makes it easy to organize your thoughts and restructure content on the fly.
Creating a Document
There are several ways to create a new document:
- From the sidebar -- navigate to a folder and click New Document.
- From a conversation -- ask the AI to create a document for you. For example: "Create a document called Project Roadmap with sections for Q1 and Q2 goals."
- From the command palette -- press
Cmd+K(Mac) orCtrl+K(Windows) and type "new document."
Every new document starts with a blank page and a cursor, ready for you to start typing.
The Block Editor
The editor is built around blocks. Each block is an independent content element that you can:
- Type into -- just click and start writing.
- Reorder -- drag and drop blocks to rearrange them.
- Transform -- change a text block into a heading, list, quote, or any other block type.
- Delete -- remove individual blocks without affecting the rest of the document.
- Duplicate -- copy a block and insert the duplicate right below it.
Press / on an empty line to open the slash menu, which lets you quickly insert any block type. You can also type markdown shortcuts like # for headings or - for bullet lists.
AI Assistant
Every document has a built-in AI chat panel. You can ask the AI to:
- Write content -- "Add an executive summary at the top of this document."
- Edit existing blocks -- "Make the introduction more concise."
- Reorganize -- "Move the conclusion section above the appendix."
- Generate images -- "Add a diagram illustrating the workflow."
When the AI suggests changes, you will see a visual diff showing exactly what will be added, modified, or removed. You can accept or reject each change individually, or accept all at once.
AI-suggested changes are never applied automatically. You always review and approve them before they become part of your document.
Real-Time Collaboration
Documents support real-time collaboration. Multiple people can view and edit the same document simultaneously. Changes sync instantly across all connected editors, powered by fractional indexing that prevents conflicts when two people add content at the same time.
Version History
Every change to a block is versioned automatically. Wyatt keeps a full history of edits, so you can see who changed what and when. This runs in the background -- you do not need to manually save or create checkpoints.
Document Visibility
You control who can see and edit your documents:
| Visibility | Who has access |
|---|---|
| Private | Only you (the owner) |
| Workspace | All members of your workspace |
| Public | Anyone with the link |
Document owners can also share with specific people or groups and set granular permissions (read or write access).
