Overview

A file is a document, image, spreadsheet, or PDF in your workspace. Files are how documents and media move into and out of your agents. Your team uploads them, you create them in the editor, or a workflow produces them, and they all live in one store shared across the workspace.

Any workflow can read a file or produce one. You might upload a contract for an agent to review, generate a report from a table, or hand a workflow the document it needs to answer a question.

How files fit the workspace

• Workflows read files, like a PDF to summarize, and produce them, like a rendered report. See using files in workflows.
• Knowledge bases are built from files you upload, turning their contents into searchable memory.
• Deployments can take a file as input and return one as output.

Use a file when the document or media itself is what matters. Use a table when you need structured rows and fields, and a knowledge base when an agent needs to search across many documents.
