Document upload lets customers share files during conversations so the AI can read and extract information from them. This covers invoices, receipts, error logs, configuration files, and other documents relevant to a support request.
This feature is for end customers sharing documents during conversations, not for uploading knowledge base content. See Knowledge for that.

​
Supported File Types

CategoryFormats
PDF.pdf
Office.docx, .pptx, .odt, .odp
Text.txt, .rtf, .md
Data.xlsx, .csv, .json, .xml
PDFs with selectable text work best. Scanned PDFs (image-based) have lower extraction accuracy.

How It Works

  1. Customer clicks the attachment icon and selects a file
  2. The system scans the file for malware
  3. The AI extracts and reads relevant content
  4. The AI responds using the document’s content alongside conversation context
