TeamAI's chat interface offers a convenient feature for users on the Starter, Best-of-Breed, Professional, and Enterprise plans: quick upload documents. This feature allows you to upload supported file types directly from the right sidebar, without the need to manage collections or datastores. In this article, we'll explore how to use quick upload documents and when this feature can be most beneficial.
Using Quick Upload Documents
To upload files using the quick upload feature, follow these simple steps:
Open an existing chat or start a new one.
In the right sidebar, under the chat controls, scroll to the bottom.
Click on the "Upload from computer" option.
Select no more than 20 files to upload.
Wait for the files to be processed and embeddings to be created.
Once the files are ready, you can use TeamAI's powerful LLM models to discuss and analyze the content.
When to Use Quick Upload Documents
The quick upload feature is particularly useful in the following scenarios:
When you don't need to retain files for longer than a month and want to quickly add them as context for your chat.
When you want to skip the process of organizing your files into datastores and collections.
When you need to quickly reference a file during a chat session without permanently storing it in your datastores.

Best Practices for Quick Upload Documents
To make the most of the quick upload feature, consider the following best practices:

Be mindful of the 20-file limit per chat and plan accordingly.
Ensure that the files you upload comply with TeamAI's content policies and do not contain sensitive or confidential information.
