pipIQ's Focus Areas

Focus Areas in pipIQ allow users to customize how the AI assists them in their daily workflow. By selecting a focus area, you shape how pipIQ interprets your queries and the type of guidance it provides. Each focus area also comes with pre-written prompts to help you get started quickly and stay aligned with your goals.

Communications

The Communications focus area is designed to help users create messages that are clear, confident, and aligned with the desired tone—whether for internal collaboration or external outreach.

This setting option provides guided workflows that walk you through:

Selecting the type of message (e.g., email, announcement, response).
Choosing the appropriate tone (such as empathetic, professional, or firm).
Refining drafts with AI-driven suggestions for clarity, tone, and flow.

The interface includes tools such as a text input field, tone toggles, side-by-side preview comparisons, and export options for seamless integration into email platforms or other communication tools.

By reducing the stress of phrasing and polishing, this focus area empowers team members to:

Write with greater confidence.
Maintain consistency with your company’s brand voice.
Respond effectively even in high-pressure or sensitive situations.

Quick Start Tips

Use for drafting emails that need to balance professionalism and empathy.
Perfect for customer support responses where tone matters as much as the content.
Great for social media posts where brand consistency is key.
Try toggling between “empathetic” and “firm” to see side-by-side differences before sending.

Productivity

The Productivity focus area helps pipIQ streamline tasks and keep users focused on outcomes. When activated, responses become more action-oriented, structured, and results-driven.

This focus area is best suited for:

Planning and organizing projects.
Making decisions and setting priorities.
Turning ideas into actionable checklists.

Built-in tools may include visual task tracking, color-coded urgency indicators, and optional end-of-day reflection prompts. Together, these features help reduce decision fatigue, improve clarity, and encourage steady progress.

By guiding users toward manageable next steps and structured execution, the Productivity focus area promotes momentum and confidence in handling workloads and shifting priorities.

Quick Start Tips

Use for daily planning: “Create a checklist for today’s top 5 tasks.”
Ideal for meeting prep: “Turn these notes into action items.”
Great for decision-making: “Compare the pros and cons of these two vendor options.”
End your day with: “Summarize what I accomplished and suggest tomorrow’s priorities.”

Knowledge

The Knowledge focus area equips pipIQ to retrieve and deliver reliable information from your company’s content library. It is built for fact-finding, context-gathering, and summarizing information directly from your knowledge base.

With this focus area, you can:

Perform natural language searches to quickly surface relevant information.
Access contextual results that can be copied into tasks, reports, or communications.
Rely on accurate, company-approved content rather than scattered or outdated sources.

Admins can upload documents, tag them by category or department, and maintain an organized library that ensures accessibility. This makes it easy for teams to find the right information at the right time.

By reducing the mental effort of hunting down resources, the Knowledge focus area supports just-in-time learning, faster decision-making, and consistent use of trusted materials across the organization.

Quick Start Tips

Ask pipIQ: “Summarize our Q2 marketing strategy document.”
Use for training or onboarding: quickly surface policy details or company FAQs.
Ideal for fact-checking before presentations or meetings.
Save time by searching: “Show me the policy for remote work reimbursements.”

pipPad

The pipPad provides an open-format creative space for brainstorming, ideation, and free-form thinking. Unlike the structured design of other focus areas, the pipPad is intentionally flexible, allowing users to work without constraints.

In this space, you can:

Start with a provided prompt or write freely from scratch.
Capture early-stage ideas, strategies, or unpolished drafts.
Explore creative thinking without self-editing or over-structuring.

By minimizing boundaries, the pipPad supports autonomy, encourages exploration, and creates a safe environment for experimentation. It is particularly valuable at the start of a project—before moving into structured planning or execution.

Quick Start Tips

Use for brainstorming sessions: “Give me 10 taglines for a new campaign.”
Great for strategic thinking: “What are three possible directions for our product roadmap?”
Capture raw ideas without worrying about formatting or polish.
Return later to refine ideas in the Communications or Productivity focus areas.

✅ In summary: Focus Areas in pipIQ adapt the AI’s responses to suit different needs—whether you’re polishing communications, retrieving knowledge, driving productivity, or brainstorming in a free-form environment. Selecting the right focus area helps you get the most out of pipIQ by aligning its behavior with your immediate goals.
