Question 1

What file formats can I import and export?

Accepted Answer

Import Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), PowerPoint (PPTX), and CSV files. Export to PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, and PPTX with formatting preserved. Under the hood, Nodejam uses .ndjm, a proprietary format built for modern workflows. More formats are coming.

Question 2

How is the agent different from other office assistants?

Accepted Answer

Most office assistants are still scoped to one app or one document surface at a time. Some help inside Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Others generate content into docs, sheets, or slides. Nodejam's agent is built around one project that can contain text, spreadsheets, and slides together, so it can work across all three in one workspace while targeting specific text, cells, or slide elements. It also researches the web on your behalf, either with a quick search or a deeper multi-step investigation.

Question 3

Why not just upload my files to ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

When you upload Office files to ChatGPT, Claude, or similar general-purpose chatbots, the system typically works through text extraction, retrieval, conversion, or code-based processing rather than native Office editing. That can work well for analysis, but fidelity gets harder when formulas, layout, template rules, and theme relationships all need to survive the round trip. Newer in-app tools like Excel and PowerPoint add-ins narrow part of that gap by working inside the application itself, but they still inherit host-app limits, missing feature coverage, and vendor-controlled boundaries. Nodejam takes that principle further at the format level through .ndjm, so the agent works on the native workspace directly instead of treating the file as a detached package.

Question 4

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Authentication is handled through Google OAuth, Microsoft OAuth, and email one-time codes with encrypted sessions. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Question 5

Why a unified format instead of separate apps?

Accepted Answer

Legacy suites split text, spreadsheets, and slides across separate apps and formats. Context gets lost and every cross-format task becomes copy-paste work. Nodejam's .ndjm format unifies all three content types in one project. The agent operates across all of them without switching contexts.

Question 6

What about team or enterprise features?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise capabilities are on our roadmap. We're actively working with Design Partners across industries to shape these features based on real workflows.

Question 7

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

The open beta is live and free. Sign in with Google, Microsoft, or your email address via a one-time code. Your project is created automatically and you can start working immediately.
