Feature request for product/service
Chat
Describe the request
I want to be able to upload document files from my computer into the chat so I can add extra context to the agent. This would be very helpful!
Operating System (if it applies)
MacOS
As a workaround, you can try asking the Agent to read a file at a given path for now. Yesterday, I suddenly saw the Agent reading screenshots I’d previously sent him in Chat, so read_tool can apparently handle more than just text.
Also you can drag’n’drop pictures.
Yes you are right about it but I actually meant files unrelated to the codebase that are saved locally in computer. For example, I tried to upload an excel file directly to the chat and it didn’t work . Then I dropped it into the file editor in my codebase so that agent could get access to but still was unable to read it.
Then you need to request extended file support in Chat. Or even specifically request xlsx support.
+1 here, there is an explicit button to upload an image, but there is no way to reference a pdf file using the @ functionality, etc. Silly that this is missing, as specifications for a project may be stored in a pdf file that users should be able to reference in a prompt, easily, irrespective of where that file lives.
They have now added pdf support in the latest release, try to update to the new version.
