Made for Office

Your documents and Nella, in the same window.

  • Word: write, summarize, correct

    Summarize a document, improve, correct or translate the selection, then insert the answer at the cursor or in place of the selected text.

  • Excel: formulas and tables

    Have a range explained or analyzed, ask for a formula or cleaned-up data: Nella writes them into the sheet, as an Excel table.

  • PowerPoint: slides

    Describe your topic: Nella suggests an outline and creates the slides, title and bullets, after the current one.

  • Outlook: read and reply

    Summarize an email, list the action items, then open a prefilled reply or insert the text into your draft.

The same everywhere

Everything Nella does, here too.

The same account, the same conversations and the same plan on all your devices: what you start on one continues on the other.

  • Chat and write

    Emails, letters, summaries, outlines: describe what you need and Nella writes it in your language.

  • Build websites and apps

    Nella writes the code and shows the result live, in an isolated frame. Included in every plan, starting with a Free account.

  • Web search with sources

    For news and recent facts, Nella searches the web and cites its sources.

  • Files and photos

    Attach a document or a photo: Nella reads it, summarizes it or answers your questions about it.

  • Memory

    Your name, your work, your preferences: Nella remembers them from one conversation to the next.

  • Projects

    Group the conversations about one topic so you can pick up each piece of work where you left it.

  • Dictation and read aloud

    Speak instead of typing, and have answers read aloud.

  • Six languages

    English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Arabic, with a right-to-left layout in Arabic.
