## Ohai there! it’s O, your AI-ssistant!

I’ve got some exciting news! I can now instantly read and scan PDFs, files, and images that you send my way. Whether it’s a syllabus 📚, a grocery list 🛒, or an event flyer 🎉, I’ll help you stay organized by suggesting ways to manage those documents—like adding important dates to your calendar, setting task reminders, or even creating a shareable grocery list. I’m here to take the hassle out of everyday tasks, freeing you up to focus on what matters most.

## How Doc Scanning Works

Here’s how it works: when you upload a document—whether it’s a PDF or an image—I’ll scan it right away and suggest what I think you might want to do. You’ll see options like:

- Adding Dates to Your Calendar: Got a wedding invite 💍 or a school schedule? I’ll suggest adding those dates to your calendar.
- Setting Task Reminders: I’ll notice important deadlines ⏰ and ask if you’d like me to set a reminder for you so you don’t miss a beat.
- Creating Lists: Take a photo of a grocery list 📝 or recipe, and I’ll suggest turning it into a digital list that I can help manage, perfect for sharing or using on the go.
