By default the assistant chooses its own sources — your knowledge base, the web, and market intelligence. When you already know where the answer should come from, you can scope the question yourself or attach the files directly.
Add Sources
The Add Sources button (the dashed plus above the composer) opens a search where you can pin your question to specific sources:
- Files and folders from your Knowledge library
- Web pages — paste a URL to add it as a web link source
Selected sources appear as removable chips above the composer. Source sets you’ve used before are remembered as recent Sources groups, so you can reapply the same scope in one click.
Two shortcuts:
- Typing / in the composer opens a quick menu to insert a web-page tag inline.
- The Web toggle turns web search off entirely for a message — useful when you want the answer grounded only in your own documents.
Attaching files
Attach files to a message three ways: click the paperclip button, drag and drop onto the composer, or paste a file.
Supported file types
PDF, Word (doc/docx), PowerPoint (ppt/pptx), Excel (xls/xlsx), CSV, plain text, Markdown, HTML, XML, JSON, and images (jpg/jpeg/png/webp).
Limits
- 5 files per message
- 25 MB per file
- 100 MB combined per message
Empty (0-byte) files and duplicates with the same file name are rejected. If some files in a batch fail validation, the valid ones still attach. On success, a toast confirms what was added, for example “Added 2 files · Total: 12.4MB”.
Adding attachments to your private knowledge
After you send a message with attachments the platform can index, a popup asks: “Add N files to your private knowledge?”
- Confirm to add the files to your Personal Data in Knowledge. Processing happens in the background and can take a few minutes; once indexed, future chats can find and cite them without re-attaching.
- Dismiss to keep the files scoped to that message only.
Attach a file when it matters for one question. Add it to your private knowledge when you expect to keep asking about it.
