Roadmap

Welcome to amber! Read the following articles to get the most out of amber.

Onboarding amber

Signing in, asking your first question, checking your data sources. The four articles that get you up and running

Welcome to amber

Sign in, check your data sources, ask your first question. 

Getting started with amber

Take a task that's on your plate today anyway. And give amber the context you'd give a new colleague.

What should I ask first?

Search is your central entry point – it finds emails, documents, images and chat messages all at once.

How do I write a good search query?

What amber can answer from your company knowledge comes down to two things: which data sources are connected, and what you personally have access to.

Which data sources are connected?

Uploading documents, analysing spreadsheets, creating files and images, running deeper research – and storing it all so you find it again.

Working with your content

Just about anything that gets produced in an office.

Which files can amber read?

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and images – all triggered simply by describing what you need. There's no menu item for it.

Which formats can amber create?

When a question needs several sources and a comparison. Not when there's only one answer.

When is Deep Research worth it?

If you keep uploading the same files into the chat, they belong in the library. Upload and sort them once – after that you'll find them everywhere.

Where do I store files I need all the time?

When you work on a topic for longer than a single chat. Everything that belongs to it stays together – including what your colleagues contributed.

What do I create a project for?

Agents for anything you do the same way every week. Actions so amber files and sends things in your other systems. And scheduled tasks for everything that should run without you.

Let amber do the work

Agents are AI-powered tools that help you automate recurring tasks and handle them more efficiently. They can summarise information, make decisions based on it, or take over routine work for you.

How do I create my first agent

Actions are the difference between an answer and a completed job. More than 50 systems connect in a few clicks – after that, amber files, sends and enters things straight from the chat.

What can amber do in other systems?

With Planned, you have one-off or recurring tasks run automatically at a set time. Everything you do every Monday anyway, amber now does without you.

How do I run tasks automatically?

Quick access, Outlook and achievements – so amber is where you already work

amber in your day to day

The answer comes down to one question: where are you when the question occurs to you?

Where do I use amber day to day?

amber suggests ready-made tasks, walks you through the features – and rewards you with a LinkedIn certificate from level 4.

How does the achievement system work?

As a project manager or mutliplier, you have a significant share in the success of how much your team exploits the potential of amber. With the following articles we would like to give you everything you need to help your team succeed with amber.
