How to start a new document

This guide walks you through creating a new document in Twin Docs — from selecting a subsidy type to reviewing your AI-generated draft.

1. Open the Documents page

After logging in, you land on the Documents page. This shows all your existing documents with their status, type, and last modified date. Click + New document in the top right to get started.

2. Select a document type

Choose the subsidy scheme you're applying for. Each document type comes with a pre-configured template that matches the fund's required structure and sections. Use the search bar to filter if you have many types available.

3. Provide your input data

After selecting a type, you can upload source files (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, recorded meeting notes, a picture of your handwritten notes) and add additional context in the text field. This is what the AI uses to draft your application — the more relevant information you provide, the better the output.

You can also click Continue without input to generate a skeleton document first and add details later.

Files we do not accept are generally recorded videos of your meetings (too large) and downloaded emails (.eml-files). It's better to simply copy-paste them.

4. Review your document

Once generated, your document opens in the editor. You'll see:

Left sidebar — Section navigation with input quality scores. Higher scores mean the AI had more to work with.
Main area — Each section with its generated content, character count, and controls.
Section toolbar — Expand Instructions to see what the funder expects, regenerate a section, or toggle Draft status.
