You can now add files directly into a conversation with the Assistant, without indexing them in Outmind.
💡 Tip: use Outmind search when you want to find and work with documents already available on your company servers. Drag and drop is ideal for temporarily adding files during a conversation, especially urgent documents you’ve just received that are not yet available in Outmind.
🖇️ Add a file to a conversation
Two methods are available on desktop:
via the paperclip icon 📎 next to the send button
via drag and drop: simply drag and drop your files into the conversation
On mobile, file upload is only available through the paperclip icon 📎.
Once uploaded, files can immediately be used by the Assistant to analyze, summarize, or enrich the conversation.
