File Uploads

Introduction

You can attach files to a message so that Chagible reads and works with their contents. Chagible can summarize a report, extract the key points of a PDF, review a spreadsheet, critique a presentation, describe or improve an image, or review code. You can attach up to 3 files to a single message, in any combination of types.

How to use it

1. In the message box, select the image button to add pictures or the paperclip button to add documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and code. On a phone, a camera button is also available for taking and attaching a photo.
2. Select the files. They appear as tiles above the message box, each with an X for removal.
3. Enter your instruction, for example “Summarize this document in five bullet points,” and send it.

Two shortcuts also work: you can drag and drop files onto the message box, and you can paste an image directly from the clipboard.

Supported files

• Images. JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP, added with the image button or camera.
• Documents. Word (.doc, .docx), OpenDocument text (.odt), PDF, and text files (.txt, .md, .rtf).
• Spreadsheets. Excel (.xls, .xlsx, .xlsb, .xlsm), CSV, TSV, and ODS.
• Presentations. PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) and OpenDocument presentations (.odp).
• Code and web files. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, Java, C#, C, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Rust, Vue, shell scripts, and SQL.
• Data and configuration files. JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, INI, and configuration files.

The image button accepts pictures only, and the paperclip button accepts every other supported type.

How each file type is handled

• Multiple files. Each file is processed separately and labeled in the response.
• Spreadsheets. A single spreadsheet appears as a table that you can edit through chat or open in Focus Sheet. Several spreadsheets sent together are analyzed individually.
• PDF and Word files. Chagible reads the content and can summarize, critique, extract, or rewrite sections. It cannot generate a new Word or PDF file, but it provides the finished text for use in your own editor.
• Presentations. Chagible reviews them slide by slide. To get restyled slides as a new file, see Slides Maker.
• Images. Chagible describes them, answers questions about them, or creates an improved version. See Image Generation.
• Code. Chagible reads the file, explains it, and recommends corrections. See Coding.

Good to know

• You cannot attach files while a response is being written or during a Voice Mode session.
• You cannot upload files inside Focus Sheet. Exit Focus Sheet first.
