fileFiles

Upload or create files to train your agent

Upload files or create them directly in the platform to train your agent.

Uploading files

  1. Go to your agent's Files section

  2. Drag and drop files into the upload area, or click to browse

  3. Files are processed and indexed automatically

Creating files in the platform

You can also create files directly in the eesel AI platform:

  1. Go to your agent's Files section

  2. Click Create to start a new file

  3. Write or paste your content

  4. Save — the file is immediately available as knowledge

This is useful for:

  • Writing custom knowledge articles specific to your agent

  • Adding quick notes or policies without needing an external tool

  • Creating content that doesn't live anywhere else

Tips

Use PDFs for policies and manuals. Upload your company handbook, product manuals, or policy documents as PDFs.

Create files for agent-specific knowledge. If there's information your agent needs that doesn't exist in any other tool, create it directly in the platform.

CSV files work for structured data. If you have a product catalog, FAQ list, or pricing table in a spreadsheet, save it as CSV and upload.

Keep files focused. Upload files that are directly relevant to what your agent needs to know. Avoid dumping large files with mixed content.

Update by re-uploading. To update an uploaded file, upload the new version. For files created in the platform, edit them directly.

Troubleshooting

File not processing?

  • Check that the file is in a supported format

  • Ensure the file isn't password-protected

  • For PDFs, make sure it contains selectable text (not just scanned images)

Content not appearing in answers?

  • Give it a few minutes — processing large files takes time

  • Test in the chat by asking a question specifically about the file's content
