Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contextual retrieval: search within attachments to surface relevant passages, summaries, or excerpts for answering questions.
  • File-aware reasoning: combine retrieved content with user prompts to produce informed responses that reference source material.
  • Use Case: For example, when asked to summarize a contract or a research note, the AI pulls the key passages from attached files and responds with a concise synthesis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I answer questions using content from PDF attachments and notes?

You can retrieve specific passages from documents and PDFs by using attachment_search with defined parameters like query, top_k, and mode. The AI then surfaces relevant excerpts and cites source material directly in the response.

How does contextual retrieval from uploaded files actually work?

Contextual retrieval works by indexing user-uploaded attachments and searching within them to surface relevant passages, summaries, or excerpts. It combines retrieved content with user prompts to produce informed, context-aware answers grounded in source material.

Can I get a concise summary of a contract or research note from an attached file?

Yes, you can get a concise summary of a contract or research note from an attached file. The AI pulls key passages from the document and responds with a synthesized summary based on the retrieved context.

What happens if document retrieval finds no matching content in my attachments?

If document retrieval finds no matching content in your attachments, the AI returns an informative response or guidance instead of a fabricated answer. This deterministic behavior ensures responses rely strictly on indexed file content.

Do I need to configure search parameters for attachment search?

You can configure search parameters for attachment search by specifying query, top_k, and mode. These defined parameters enforce deterministic behavior, ensuring the file tools retrieve precise and relevant document excerpts.
