47.1 File Upload Knowledge Sources

AIUNIFY Chat can ingest supported files as Agent Knowledge directly from the Sources page.

This is useful for documents, product information, policies, reference material, exported data, and other content that is easier to provide as a file than as a webpage.

47.2 Supported File Types

The deployed Sources interface lists:

  • PDF
  • DOCX
  • CSV
  • TXT
  • MD / Markdown

The file selector also accepts the corresponding supported extensions provided by the application.

47.3 Upload Limits

The interface states:

  • Maximum 10 files in one selection/upload batch.
  • Maximum 50 MB per file.

Keep individual files focused enough that their indexed text remains useful to the Agent.

47.4 Selecting Files

The Upload Files area supports two methods:

  • Drag and drop files onto the upload area.
  • Select the area to browse for files.

The interface displays the selected file names and their approximate sizes before upload.

47.5 Uploading the Files

  1. Open the Agent's Knowledge sources.
  2. Locate Upload files.
  3. Drop files into the upload area or browse to select them.
  4. Review the selected files.
  5. Select Upload [count] file or Upload [count] files.

The button displays an Uploading state while the request is in progress.

47.6 Clearing a Selection

If you selected the wrong files before upload, select Clear and choose the correct set.

47.7 After Upload

Uploaded files become Knowledge Sources and are processed into Documents and searchable Chunks.

Use the Existing Sources area to monitor status and the Knowledge workspace to inspect what the Agent actually received.

47.8 Verifying File Extraction

File upload success alone does not prove that the content was extracted correctly.

After processing:

  1. Open the Source Preview or Knowledge workspace.
  2. Locate the uploaded Document.
  3. Open its Chunks.
  4. Confirm the text is meaningful and complete enough for the intended visitor questions.

47.9 CSV Considerations

For CSV content, verify that the resulting text preserves the relationships a visitor question depends on. Extremely large or poorly structured exports may be less useful than a cleaned, focused source.

47.10 File Maintenance

When a source file becomes obsolete, remove or replace its Knowledge rather than leaving conflicting versions available to the Agent.
