Praktik Worker is a workspace where Praktik can do more than provide an answer. It can work with files, carry out a multi-step assignment, and return a finished output for you to review.
You describe the result you need and provide the source files through the Praktik Agent. Worker determines how to approach the task, uses the tools available in its workspace, and can create task-specific scripts when necessary. You do not need to choose a tool or know how to program.
The idea behind Worker
Most software supports a predefined set of actions. That works well for recurring workflows, but not every assignment fits an existing feature.
Worker is intended for the long tail of practical work: tasks that are specific to one document, one matter, or one required output. Instead of explaining how you could complete the work manually, Worker can perform the steps and produce the resulting files.
Worker does not replace your professional judgment. You review the result and decide how it should be used.
Where Worker can be used
Compare two documents
Worker can compare two PDF documents, identify substantive textual changes, and prepare a focused summary without requiring you to read both versions page by page.
See an example: Comparing two PDFs (in Slovak).
Create and modify Word documents
Worker can:
- create a custom Word document from your instructions,
- create a new document based on an existing Word template,
- apply or standardize styles and formatting,
- add comments to a document or extract existing comments into a separate output,
- add tracked changes or extract existing tracked changes for review.
Example: Fill in Word templates
If you already use Word templates, provide the template together with the information that should be entered—for example, an email, data from the business register, or another source document. Worker can transfer the relevant data into the correct places while preserving the template’s existing formatting, styles, and structure.
Fill in PDF forms
Provide the PDF and the information to enter. Worker can complete the form and return the filled-in PDF for review.
Check PDF redactions
Worker can inspect a redacted PDF and check whether the intended information was properly removed rather than only visually covered.
Add comments to PDFs
Worker can add comments at specified places in a PDF—for example, to mark missing information, explain a change, or prepare the document for review.
Make other PDF changes
Worker can also anonymize information, merge or split PDFs, rearrange or remove pages, and add stamps, labels, or page numbers—and much more depending on the required output.
Work with Excel
Worker can clean and reorganize a workbook or combine information from several spreadsheets into one consistent output.
Create presentations
Worker can create a presentation from documents, notes, or spreadsheet data and follow a supplied presentation template.
Apply the same change across many files
Worker can perform repeatable work across a set of files—for example, anonymize multiple documents, rename and classify files, standardize formatting, or convert a folder into consistent output formats.
Complete other one-off file tasks
If the assignment has a clearly defined output but does not fit an existing feature, Worker can create a task-specific process to complete it.
The best instruction describes the desired result. You can also provide a reference file, template, naming convention, or formatting rules that the output should follow.
How it works
- Describe the assignment — Tell the Praktik Agent what result you need.
- Provide the files — Attach the source documents and, where useful, an example or template.
- Worker performs the work — It processes the files and creates the tools or scripts needed for the assignment.
- Review the output — Inspect the resulting files and ask for changes if the result needs refinement.
Security and isolation
Worker runs assignments in isolated virtual machines. Each environment is started from a prebuilt OCI image containing the tools needed to perform the work.
The virtual machine has no internet access. Input data can enter the environment only through the Praktik Agent, which acts as the controlled channel between your assignment and the isolated workspace.
The virtual machine’s storage is encrypted. After the work is complete, the files are deleted from the isolated workspace and are not retained in that environment.
This design allows Worker to work only with the files provided for the assignment, without access to the internet or external services.
