Overview

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

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

Important : uploaded file content is not included in your conversation context unless your assistant decide it's appropriate to fullfill your request. This allow your assistant to work with a much larger amount of uploaded content without "forgetting" part of your conversation past. If you absolutely want to include your file content, you may want to prompt your assistant appropriately such as adding "Always include uploaded files content".

Dynamic Tools

Based on the file's type, Dust will dynamically expose tools to your assistant on 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 assistant prompt, just talk to your assistant and it should decide the right tool to use.
