Your first task: let XiaoTin handle one thing for you

1. First time here? Start with the default XiaoTin

Choose the AI persona for this task at the lower-left of the input box.

If this is your first time, use the default XiaoTin. There is no need to create another AI persona yet.

Once you are comfortable with the basics, create personas for different kinds of work.

2. Choose Run mode

Next, set XiaoTin’s work mode to “Run.”

Run mode is for tasks you want XiaoTin to complete directly, such as:

• Create a document
• Organize a work checklist
• Work with existing materials
• Edit file contents
• Generate a concrete deliverable from your requirements

If you already know the result you want, start in Run mode.

3. First time here? Choose Ask every time

In the permission settings, choose “Ask every time.”

When this is enabled, XiaoTin shows you what it plans to create or change before acting, and you decide whether to allow it.

For a first TabTin session, this makes it easier to see how XiaoTin completes a task step by step.

4. Tell XiaoTin what you want to get done

Once the settings are ready, enter your task.

Example:

In the current workspace, create a document named “My TabTin work-start checklist.”

The document should include:

1. Three things to confirm before starting work today;
2. Three small goals that can be completed today;
3. One concrete action for each goal;
4. A checklist to review before leaving work.

Create it directly and save it as a TabDoc document.

When you are getting started, you do not need to learn complicated Prompts.

Just try to tell XiaoTin three things:

what you want it to do + your specific requirements + what you want at the end.

5. Review what XiaoTin is about to do

After you submit the task, XiaoTin interprets your request and plans the work it needs to do.

If the task involves creating or changing content, Ask every time shows a confirmation for the operation.

If everything looks right, click “Allow” and XiaoTin will continue.

6. Check the result

When the work is finished, XiaoTin tells you it is done and provides the deliverable.

In this example, it creates:

“My TabTin work-start checklist”

Open the document to see what it generated.

If the result is not quite what you wanted, you do not need to start over. Just tell XiaoTin what to change:

“Make the three small goals more specific.”

Or:

“Add a “Today’s review” section to the completion checklist.”

XiaoTin can continue editing from the current task.

Your first task is done

For your first TabTin session, remember this simple path:

Choose XiaoTin → choose Run mode → set Ask every time → describe the task → confirm the operation → check the result

You do not need to learn every feature or write a complicated Prompt first.

Start with one small thing you genuinely need to finish today, then hand it to XiaoTin.
