4.7 Create documents with AI

When Word is open with an empty document, Erayaha can help draft a new document from a prompt. For example: “Create a vendor NDA for data services.” You can also upload PDF references to guide the draft. Generated content may need review and editing for your requirements; PDF references can help make it more relevant.

5. Troubleshooting and tips

The Erayaha sidebar does not open in Google Docs

Solution: Confirm the add-on is installed, then select Extensions → Erayaha - Smarter Document Reviews & Insights → Optimize your document now. Refresh the page or try incognito mode if multiple Google accounts are signed in.

“Authorization required” appears

Solution: Google may be using a different account for installation and access. Sign out of other Google accounts or use an incognito window to authenticate with the correct account.

Nothing happens after selecting “Optimize your document now”

Solution: Make sure the document contains text. Empty documents cannot be analyzed; in Word, you can use the document generation feature instead.

Perspectives do not appear

Solution: Wait for the document analysis to complete. If it takes too long, refresh the page and try again.

The extension is slow or unresponsive

Solution: Check your internet connection, close other resource-intensive tabs, and clear the browser cache if needed. For Word, restart the app.

The Word add-in does not appear after installation

Solution: Open Insert → My Add-ins and make sure Erayaha is enabled. Pin it to the ribbon for quicker access.

Word says the document is empty even though it has content

Solution: Save the document, close it, and reopen it. Some Word APIs need a refresh to detect content changes.

Chat does not respond or gives generic outputs

Solution: Use a clear, specific prompt. For example, instead of “Summarize,” try “Summarize this document from a finance team’s point of view.”

Erayaha shows outdated content

Solution: Save the document and reload the extension. In Docs, select “Optimize your document now” again; in Word, close and reopen the sidebar.

Answers

6. Frequently asked questions

What is Erayaha?
Erayaha is a document intelligence tool that helps analyze, summarize, and refine business documents such as contracts, RFPs, DHRPs, and financial agreements inside Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
Is Erayaha free to use?
Yes. A free tier is available with limited usage. Paid plans provide higher usage quotas and access to advanced features and analysis depth.
I installed the add-on, but nothing appears in the sidebar. What should I do?
Make sure the document has content and that you are signed into the Google or Microsoft account used to install the add-on.
Why am I being asked to choose a perspective?
Perspectives such as Client, Vendor, Legal, Finance, or Product let the assistant analyze the document from a specific viewpoint and tailor its insights and suggestions.
What kind of prompts should I use?
Specify what you want and the role you have in mind. Examples: “What risks are there for the client?”, “Summarize this from a legal point of view,” or “Check whether this document has unrealistic delivery expectations.”
Is my document data safe?
The legacy guide states that documents are not stored or used for AI training unless you explicitly opt in. See the current Privacy Policy for up-to-date data handling details.
Can I use both Google Docs and Word versions with the same account?
Yes. You can use Erayaha across platforms when signed into the corresponding Google or Microsoft account used for each extension.
What document types work best with Erayaha?
Erayaha is built for business documents such as contracts, tenders, RFPs, DHRPs, and compliance reports. Informal or creative documents may produce less targeted insights.
What should I do if I see “Authorization required”?
Sign out of other Google accounts or try an incognito window. This error often results from conflicting sessions.
Why is Erayaha asking me to optimize the document?
Optimization starts the AI analysis. Perspective selection, Overview, Details, and Revisions become available after analysis, which ensures the assistant uses the latest document content.
Can Erayaha work on a document with only an image or blank content?
No. Erayaha needs text to analyze. A blank Word document may offer document creation; a document containing only images cannot provide meaningful analysis.
What happens if I do not select a perspective?
Without a perspective, Erayaha cannot contextualize the document. Selecting one unlocks insights tailored to your needs, whether you are a lawyer, vendor, or product lead.
Do I have to type full prompts every time in Chat?
The current guide says you need to provide a clear prompt. You can reuse or adjust previous prompts.
How is the Word add-in different from the Google Docs extension?
The guide describes their features as nearly identical, with Word offering an extra “Create Document” feature for drafting from a prompt when the document is empty.
Why do suggestions change every time I click Optimize?
Suggestions can change when document content changes or the AI reanalyzes tone, structure, or risk. Even small rewrites or deletions can lead to new interpretations.
Can Erayaha be used for academic papers or resumes?
Although it may provide feedback on clarity and structure, Erayaha is optimized for business, legal, and technical writing rather than creative or academic use.
Does Erayaha support real-time collaboration?
In Google Docs, collaborators can see the same sidebar and results if they also installed the extension. In Word, this depends on whether each collaborator has the add-in installed.
How often is the assistant updated?
Erayaha is regularly updated to improve its capabilities, risk detection, and prompt comprehension. The guide says updates apply automatically without reinstalling the extension.
Does Erayaha support multiple languages?
The legacy guide states that English is fully supported and support for other languages is in progress. Check current product information for updates.
What if I accidentally deny permissions during installation?
Remove the add-on from Docs or Word, reinstall it, and grant the required permissions when prompted.
Are the insights legally binding?
No. Erayaha’s suggestions are not a substitute for human legal review. Consult a qualified professional before acting on AI-generated recommendations.
