Uploading and analyzing files

At any given time, you can upload files for Autopilot to analyze. You can use the upload icon in the chat box, or drag and drop the file directly into the chat box.

When you select Send, Autopilot ingests the file and analyzes it, making the content of the file available for queries. Once the analysis is complete, you can ask Autopilot questions about the information in the file, and it would respond with the relevant details.

Supported file formats for upload include DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, CSV, JSON, TXT, PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG. Maximum upload file size is 10 MB.

Important:
  • Autopilot cannot understand PDFs that exceed five pages. It can search relevant sections within the PDF and provide answers based on that search. As a result, requests such as "summarize this document" could lead to inaccurate responses.

  • The data persists only in the current chat session. If you start a new chat, the information from the previous session cannot be retrieved.
