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.
