Uploading Documents from the Chat

You can easily add documents to your questions directly from the chat window. This makes it simple to give more context without leaving the conversation.

How to Attach Documents

  1. Click the attachment icon (📎) in the chat box.

  2. Choose whether to:

    • Attach an existing document already saved in your workspace.

    • Upload a new document from your computer.

  3. You can also drag and drop documents directly into the chat box to attach them instantly.

If you upload a new file, a window will open so you can select one or more documents.

During Upload

  • Selected documents appear above the chat box.

  • You can see their upload progress in real time.

  • You cannot send your question until the upload is finished.

Where Files Are Stored

  • All uploaded files are automatically saved in your personal (private) workspace.

  • To upload directly into another workspace, please use the Documents page (see FAQ Documents page).

File Types and Parsing

The platform automatically chooses the right way to process your file:

  • PDF, DOCX → Default parser

  • HTML, PPTX, PNG, JPG, JPEG → Parser 2.2.1

  • MD, CSV, XLSX → Dedicated parser

Managing Multiple Documents

When you attach several documents, they appear above the chat box. You can also open the side panel (top right: View all documents) to see the full list.

You have several ways to remove documents, either one by one or all at once:
