Overview
When you select one or more files in Zark, they become the context for your request. Any prompt you run is applied only to the selected files — not to your entire workspace or general knowledge. This allows you to:- Summarize documents and media
- Extract structured information
- Generate captions and descriptions
- Analyze multiple files at once
File Summaries
You can generate summaries for individual files using natural language. Example:- Select a file
- Ask: Summarize this file
- Documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT)
- Images (PNG, JPG)
- Videos (MP4, MOV)
- Other supported media formats
- Reviewing documents before reading in full
- Understanding the contents of long reports
- Summarizing videos or presentations
- Extracting key ideas from research material

| Documents | • Key points • Names, dates, and entities • Topics and themes • Structured data | • “Extract the main points” • “List important dates” • “Summarize key findings” |
| Media Files | • Visual content descriptions • Text from images (OCR) • Audio transcripts (when available) • Metadata | • “Extract text from this image” • “Describe the visual content” • “Get the transcript” |
Working with Multiple Files
You can apply a single request to multiple files at once. How it works:1
Select multiple files
Choose the files you want to analyze together
2
Ask a single question
Submit your request, such as “Summarize these files”
3
Receive combined response
Zark analyzes all selected files and generates a unified response
- Reviewing document collections
- Summarizing meeting recordings
- Comparing related files
- Batch analysis
- Folder
- File type
- Date range
- Manual selection
Best Practices
| Category | Guidelines |
|---|---|
| Writing Effective Prompts | Be specific about what you want Reference the selected files directly Use clear, task-oriented language Combine actions when useful (e.g., “Summarize and extract key points”) |
| Organizing Files | Group related files before running AI actions Use folders for batch processing Rename files clearly for better results |
Key Takeaway
Zark’s AI does not function as a general chatbot. It operates directly on:- The files you select
- The instructions you provide
- The context you define
