Spend just 5 minutes exploring TeamAI and you’ll immediately see how powerful - and easy to use - it is.

Get Started right away:

When you log in, you will find 3 sections. Focus on the central chat area and ignore the sidebars. In the chat area, type a simple question - anything you’re curious about and watch as the AI answers promptly.

Experiment with different models:

After reading the initial answer to the question created, look for the dropdown above the response and choose the star icon, below the answer provided. Select another AI Model and compare the output. Some models excel at creative writing, others at research or technical detail-sampling them helps you discover which one suits your task best.

Get the most out of it

Experiment with the same prompt in different models to compare results.

Document Insights and Performance Analytics

TeamAI helps you turn raw information into actionable insights-no technical skills required. You can upload reports, PDFs, or CSV files and get concise summaries, visual breakdowns and clear takeaways about performance, trends, and opportunities for improvements.

  • Document Insights.

Got a lengthy document you don’t have time to read? Click the plus icon in the chat, select your PDF file, and upload it. TeamAI generates a digest of the most relevant points. You can also ask targeted questions to explore specific sections or details.

Tip

When summarizing PDFs, ask follow-up questions to dive into specific sections and keep in mind that very large PDFs may take a little longer to process.

  • Performance Visualization.

In a new chat, hover over the world icon in the chat bar to access “Code” mode, then upload a CSV file. In code mode, you can visualize key metrics from spreadsheets or reports-like growth over time or performance comparison. TeamAI transforms structured data into clear charts (line, bar, scatter) for faster interpretation.

Tip

In Code Mode, specify which kind of chart you want - line, bar, or scatter. Also, CSV files with proper formatting and headers tend to give better answers.

  • Deeper Research.

Launch a new chat and select “Research” mode. TeamAI pulls together insights from multiple reliable sources to help you understand what’s driving your results or explore market context.


Tip

Use research mode when you need to gather information from multiple sources. Just keep your questions focused - narrower queries will give you better answers!

Empowering Your Agents with AI Data Hub Access

TeamAI's AI Data Hub feature allows you to store and organize various types of documents, including files, webpages, and entire websites.

Navigate to your agent’s page and in the settings, you’ll see a menu for data hub selection, select the collections and data hubs you want your agent to have access to. When you provide your agent with access to data hubs, you're essentially giving them context to better understand and respond to your queries:

  • You ask your agent a question related to the information contained in your data hubs.

  • The agent searches through the selected data hubs to find relevant information.

  • The agent uses this information to provide a more accurate and contextually relevant response to your query.

In just five minutes, you've explored the core capabilities of TeamAI without ever leaving the main chat interface. You've learned how to leverage different AI models, process documents, analyze data, and conduct research - all through simple, conversational prompts. As you become more familiar with the platform, you can explore more advanced features like agents, team prompts, and the additional functionality available in the sidebars.
