Create and fill a Dossier

You create a Dossier in the sidebar. A short assistant asks for a name, access, AI instructions and documents. Only the name is required; you can add everything else later.

At a glance

  • A Dossier holds up to 2,500 files and 5 GB.
  • It takes PDF, DOCX, PowerPoint, Excel and emails (EML, MSG).
  • In the Dossier you find the sections Start, Files and Chats.

If it doesn't work

If a file won't upload, check format and size in the article Which files can I upload, and how many?. Write to us if it still doesn't work.
