How to Upload

​
Method 1: Drag and Drop

Drag a file from your computer directly into the project’s file area in the right sidebar.

​
Method 2: Upload Button

  1. Open the right sidebar
  2. Click the Files section
  3. Click Upload
  4. Select your file(s)
Files are processed and indexed automatically.

​
Supported Formats

FormatExtensionsNotes
Documents.pdf, .docx, .txtText extracted and indexed
Spreadsheets.csv, .xlsxData parsed into readable format
Presentations.pptxText from slides extracted
Code.js, .py, .ts, etc.Full content indexed
Markdown.mdRendered and indexed
Images.png, .jpgAnalyzed visually by capable AIs

​
What Happens After Upload

  1. Indexing - The file content is processed and stored as vector embeddings
  2. Available - The file becomes available as context for all conversations in this project
  3. Searchable - AIs can search and reference specific parts of the file
The file doesn’t get sent with every message (that would be too expensive). Instead, relevant sections are retrieved when your questions relate to the file content.

​
Asking Questions About Files

Once a file is uploaded, just ask about it naturally: 
"Based on the competitor analysis PDF I uploaded, which company
is the biggest threat to our positioning?"

"Look at the financial projections spreadsheet. Are our
growth assumptions realistic?"

"The product spec I uploaded has some gaps. What's missing?"
The AIs will reference the relevant sections of your uploaded documents.

​
Tips for Best Results

​
Name files clearly

q4-2025-financial-projections.pdf is better than doc_final_v3.pdf. The filename gives AIs context.

​
Upload relevant files only

Don’t dump everything. Upload files that are directly relevant to this project’s purpose. Quality over quantity.

​
Mention the file

While AIs can find file content automatically, explicitly mentioning “based on the uploaded report” helps them focus on the right source.

​
Update when needed

If a file has a new version, upload the updated version. Old versions can be removed.

​
Consider file size

Large files work, but the most relevant sections are prioritized. If you have a 200-page document, the AIs focus on the parts most relevant to your question.

​
What Files Can’t Do

  • Files don’t replace custom instructions (use instructions for persistent rules)
  • Files aren’t shared across projects (each project has its own files)
  • Files can’t be edited within Suprmind (upload new versions instead)
  • Very large files may have partial indexing (most relevant sections prioritized)
