Documents Upload Connector
Transform your documents into intelligent, searchable knowledge bases with our comprehensive document processing pipeline that supports multiple file formats and advanced information extraction.
Overview
The Documents Upload connector enables you to create conversational AI experiences from your existing documents. By uploading files directly to the platform, you can quickly establish a knowledge base that powers intelligent conversations without the need for complex integrations or technical setup. This connector represents the most straightforward path to creating intelligent conversational experiences from your existing documentation, manuals, reports, and other text-based content.

Information Extraction & Processing Pipeline
Our document processing pipeline is a multi-stage approach that transforms static documents into intelligent, searchable knowledge bases.
Document Ingestion
The initial stage involves secure document upload and format validation, ensuring that all supported file types are properly received and prepared for processing.
This stage encompasses secure file upload, format validation, and metadata extraction including file properties and structure.
Content Extraction
Advanced text extraction techniques preserve document structure while identifying key information elements that will enhance search and conversation capabilities.
This stage involves document conversion to text-friendly formats for extraction of text data, and text extraction with formatting and structure preservation.
Semantic Analysis
The extracted content undergoes semantic analysis to understand context, relationships, and meaning, enabling more intelligent conversational responses.
The main goal of this stage is to map, transform and chunk the content for optimal embedding generation.
Vector Embedding Generation
The final processing stage creates high-dimensional vector representations that capture semantic meaning and enable intelligent retrieval during conversations.
Advanced embedding models are used for semantic representation and the embedded content is similarity indexed for efficient retrieval.
Key Features & Capabilities
Intelligent Content Chunking
Documents are automatically segmented into meaningful chunks that preserve context while optimizing for search and retrieval performance.
Key benefits include:
- Maintains document structure and flow
- Optimizes chunk sizes for embedding generation
- Preserves cross-references and relationships
- Enhances retrieval accuracy and relevance
Multi-Format Processing
Comprehensive support for business document formats ensures broad compatibility with your existing content ecosystem.
Key benefits include:
- Unified processing pipeline for all supported formats
- Consistent extraction quality across file types
- Preservation of document-specific formatting
- Seamless integration of mixed-format document libraries
Metadata Enrichment
Documents are enhanced with extracted metadata that improves search accuracy and provides additional context for conversations.
Key benefits include:
- Automatic extraction of document properties
- Easy referencing and citations
- Relationship mapping between documents
- Enhanced search and filtering capabilities
Future Multi-Modal Support
While currently focused on text-based document processing, our roadmap includes expanding capabilities to support richer, multi-modal content experiences. These planned enhancements will significantly expand the types of content that can be processed and the richness of conversational experiences.
Image and Chart Processing
Coming SoonAdvanced OCR and image analysis will extract information from charts, graphs, and diagrams embedded within documents.
Audio Transcript Integration
Under DevelopmentSupport for audio files with automatic transcription and integration into the knowledge base for voice-based content.
Video Content Analysis
PlannedVideo file processing with transcript extraction and visual content analysis for comprehensive multimedia support.
Current Limitations & Considerations
Auto-Refresh Not Supported
Unlike some other connectors, the Documents Upload connector does not support automatic synchronization. Document updates require manual re-upload and processing.
Static Content Processing
The connector processes documents as static content snapshots, without dynamic linking or real-time updates from source systems.
Text-Based Processing
Current processing focuses primarily on text content, with limited support for complex visual elements or multimedia components.
Best Practices for Document Upload
Document Preparation
- Ensure documents are text-searchable rather than image-only scans
- Use consistent naming conventions for easy identification
- Remove or redact sensitive information before upload
Content Optimization
- Include comprehensive metadata in document properties
- Avoid duplicate naming of documents
- Avoid excessive formatting that might interfere with text extraction
Knowledge Base Management
- Regularly review and update document collections
- Remove outdated or redundant documents
- Monitor conversation quality to identify content gaps
