File Data Source

File data sources let you create a knowledge base for your agents from supported files. You can upload .pdf, .txt, and .rtf files up to 1 GB each.

Important: Legacy Microsoft Word .doc files and Markdown .md files are not supported for Knowledge Agent data source file ingestion. You cannot upload, parse, index, or retrieve content from these file types in Knowledge Agent data sources.

• Seamless Integration: Easily add files or directories as data sources to expand the information available to your agents.

• Asynchronous and Chunked Uploads: File uploads are processed asynchronously and transmitted in chunks.

• Concurrent Uploads: Upload up to 10 files concurrently improving productivity.

• Intuitive UI: Track the upload progress in real time with a window that is available across the Agent Factory.

• Manage Uploads: Cancel uploads or retry them individually or for all files if a network or system failure occurs.

• Backend Upload for Large Volumes: Upload very large data volumes directly through the backend. Administrators can create directories and subdirectories within the /scratch/<project-folder>/volume/dataSources folder and add files to configure them as file sources.
