# Summarize what you already have

> Attach files, or connect Slack, then keep a short reading of that source.

You already have the source material. You want a short reading, not a blank-page draft. Attach files on Home, or connect Slack and add it to a Persona, then ask. Keep the result with **Edit in Docs** if a document appears.

## Attach files

**1. Open Home**

Click **Home** in the left sidebar. Chat is on the right.

**2. Attach the source**

Click the paperclip to **Attach files or images**, or drop a file onto the composer. You can attach one document at a time, or drop a folder when you want those files indexed. See [Attach a file](https://developers.webai.com/using-webai/chat.md#attach-a-file).

**3. Ask for a short reading**

Send a prompt that names the attached files, such as `Summarize the attached notes into a one-page brief.` Click the send icon.

**4. Keep the result**

**Copy** copies the finished reply. **Edit in Docs** opens a document you can keep working on. You are done when Chat has used your material. Finding that document later is on [Artifacts](https://developers.webai.com/using-webai/artifacts.md).

## Connect Slack and summarize

Use this path when the source lives in Slack instead of a file you can attach.

**1. Connect Slack**

Open [Settings → Connectors](https://developers.webai.com/settings/connectors.md). Click **Connect** on Slack, and finish sign-in. The row shows **Connected** when it works.

**2. Add it to a Persona**

Click **Personas** in the left sidebar. On the list, open the card menu and click **Edit**. Or open the Persona, then click the settings icon. Click **Abilities**. Under **Connectors**, click **Add**, then **Add** on Slack. If Slack still needs a login, its row shows **Connect** instead. See [How to add a connector to a Persona](https://developers.webai.com/connectors/overview.md#how-to-add-a-connector-to-a-persona).

**3. Ask for a reading**

Open [Home](https://developers.webai.com/using-webai/chat.md) or that Persona, and ask it to summarize unread messages or a channel. You do not type the tool name. The model picks the call. A summary reads from Slack. If the Persona tries to post, webAI asks you first unless you set Slack to **Always allow**.

**4. Keep the result**

**Copy** copies the finished reply. **Edit in Docs** opens a document you can keep working on.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Cloud connectors need a model of 8B parameters or larger. Gemma 4 E2B still qualifies. Searching Slack sends that work to Slack. See the [Privacy Policy](https://www.webai.com/privacy).

The calls Slack can make are on [Slack](https://developers.webai.com/connectors/slack.md).
