Example prompts:

How to add images to documents

Using Sparky

Ask Sparky to create an illustration while working on your document. Sparky can generate creative visuals to help explain concepts. There are two ways to do so:

  1. While viewing an existing document, ask Sparky to add images.

  2. When creating a new document, ask Sparky to also add images.
