Overview

When you upload a file to a conversation, Dust will automatically create a datasource for that specific conversation and stores all uploaded files in it.

Under the hood, these datasources are implemented as invisible Folders : they are not exposed anywhere in the interface and will be deleted when the conversation is deleted.

Important : uploaded file content is not included in your conversation context unless your agent decides it's appropriate to fulfill your request. This allows your agents to work with a much larger amount of uploaded content without "forgetting" parts of your past conversation . If you absolutely want to include your file content, you may want to prompt your agent appropriately by adding "Always include uploaded files content".

Dynamic Tools

Based on the file type, Dust will dynamically expose tools to your agent to leverage the file.

• Documents will be searcheable via the Search datasources tool.
• Tables (CSV, TSV) will be queryable via the Table queries tool.
• Both can be fully included in the conversation.

To leverage theses tools, you don't have to specify anything in your agent prompt, just talk to your agent and it should decide the right tool to use.
