Eva's Document Generation: Best Practices & How to Request Changes

Eva can generate professional documents (PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, and HTML files) directly from your chat. Knowing how it works will help you get the most out of it. Here's everything you need to know.

Written by Chris Toscano

Understanding the Daily Limit

On older (legacy) plans, Eva can generate up to 5 documents per day. This includes all formats (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and HTML) and applies to both new documents and revised versions. Each of your other agents has its own limit of 5. Hours plans have no daily document limit.

On hours plans, each new document generation costs 1 hour from your monthly plan. Corrections and revisions to an existing document don't cost extra hours. On older plans, they use one of your 5 daily slots.

New document generation

✅ Yes

✅ Yes (1 hour)

Revised/corrected version

💡 On older plans, treat your 5 daily slots like a budget. Spend them wisely on what matters most.

How to Request Corrections the Right Way

When you need to make changes to a document Eva already generated, how you phrase your request matters. Here's how to make sure Eva treats it as a revision:

  • Be explicit. Use phrases like "this is a correction" or "here's an edit to the existing doc."

  • Batch your changes. Think through all the edits you need and send them in a single message. On older plans, every revision uses a daily slot, so fewer rounds = fewer slots used.

  • Create a Document Modification Request template. Instead of describing changes conversationally, list them all at once in a structured format:

Document name

e.g. Q3 Sales Proposal

Format

PDF / DOCX / PPTX / HTML

Change 1

Section / what to change / new content

Change 2

Section / what to change / new content

Change 3

Add more rows as needed

Notes

Any additional context for Eva

⭐ Pro tip: The more specific your change descriptions, the better Eva's output. Instead of "fix the intro," try "Rewrite the intro to be more formal and under 3 sentences."

How to Get the Most Out of Each Generation

Follow this workflow to avoid wasting generations on documents that aren't ready yet:

  1. Plan in chat first. Discuss format, wording, tone, structure, and design with Eva before generating anything. This doesn't use hours or daily slots.

  2. Hold the generation. Use phrases like "Let's draft this in chat first, don't generate yet" or "I'll tell you when to make the doc" to keep Eva from generating before you're ready.

  3. Generate when ready. Once you're happy with the content and structure, give Eva the green light.

  4. Batch corrections. Collect all edits and send them in one go using the template above.

💡 Chatting and planning with Eva don't use hours or daily slots. Use that space generously before committing to a generation.
