## Step-by-Step: Using Mo for the First Time

<details>

<summary>Step 1 — Open a New Chat with Mo</summary>

From the home screen, click **New Chat**. Mo's interface opens with a prompt bar ("Ask Mo Anything") and a set of suggested prompts to spark ideas — things like "Show forecast performance for this year" or "Summarize my YTD sales: wins, gaps, and next actions." You can start with one of these, or type your own question.

<summary>Step 2 — Type Your Prompt (and attach a file if needed)</summary>

Type what you'd like Mo to help with directly into the prompt bar. You can also attach a file — like an Excel demand plan — using the paperclip icon. Each prompt or conversation you send uses Mo Credits, so think of it as your way of unlocking Mo's intelligence on demand.

<summary>Step 3 — Send Your Message</summary>

<summary>Step 5 — Review Mo's Output</summary>

* A YTD Performance snapshot showing units sold, revenue, and variance vs. plan
* A monthly bar chart comparing original plan vs. actuals/re-projected
* A full year units breakdown by category
* A re-projected Excel export with structured tabs ready to download
