You can attach files directly to an AskCorral conversation and the AI will read them and use them as context alongside your live data. {% hint style="warning" %} File attachments are rolling out gradually. If you don't see the attach option in your composer yet and want it enabled for your account, contact . {% endhint %} ### How it works **Click the attach button** in the AskCorral composer, or **drag a file** into it. Each attached file shows as a chip with its name and size — remove one with the × before sending. Then ask your question: *"Here are my notes from the ops meeting — which of these action items can you check against our actual numbers?"* * **Supported today:** plain text (`.txt`) and Markdown (`.md`) files. Unsupported types are rejected with a message naming the type; more formats are on the way. * **A few files per message,** with a per-file size limit — the composer will tell you if a file is too large to include. * **Session-scoped:** attachments live with that conversation. They're removed when you delete the conversation, and swept automatically after a retention window — they don't become part of your connected data. * **Private to your account:** files are isolated per customer and per user, enforced server-side. ### Good uses * Paste-averse context: a brief, a checklist, meeting notes, a KPI definition doc * "Compare this plan against our actuals" — attach the plan, let AskCorral pull the actuals * Terminology: attach a glossary so the AI uses your team's language for a session {% hint style="info" %} Want a file to become a permanent, queryable data source instead? That's an integration, not an attachment — see [Connect your data](https://docs.corraldata.com/kb/getting-started/quickstart) for the Google Sheet, Drive, and OneDrive paths. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.corraldata.com/kb/chat-with-your-data/attach-files-to-askcorral.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
