Working With Files
What You Can Do
- Reference specific parts of documents in your questions
- Analyze content across multiple files
- Extract insights and summaries of non-tabular information
- Compare information between documents
Current Limitations
Self Awareness
- The system is not self-aware when files are uploaded. This means that asking non-specific questions like “summarize this file” will not yield satisfactory results.
- Tip for success: ask specific questions about the file, using the language that’s present in the document.
Processing Speed
- Processing time varies based on document length, not just file size
- Larger documents (especially those with many pages) may take longer to process
- We're actively working on three possible optimization solutions to improve processing speed
File Operations
- The AI
cannotmodify files directly - The file handling
cannotperform data analysis on spreadsheet data - Operations like "take column A and reformat it into column B" are not currently supported
- Files serve as reference material only
Tips for Optimal Use
- Prepare Your Files
- Use text-searchable PDFs rather than scanned documents
- Convert complex files to simpler formats when possible
- During Conversations
- Be
specificwhen referencing file content - Break down complex questions into smaller parts
- Ask specific questions about the file, using the language that’s present in the document.
- Performance Optimization
- Start with smaller files to test functionality
- Remove unused files from chats to free up space
Claude PDF Handling
Use Claude Sonnet 3.5 model for best performance with PDF files.
