Hi @mellow sentinel. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Based on the provided knowledge sources, there seems to be a misunderstanding in your question. GPT4All's LocalDocs feature doesn't work by attaching PDFs directly to the chat. Instead, it uses a different approach:
-
LocalDocs allows you to create collections of documents, including PDFs, which are then indexed and made available for the AI to reference during conversations.
-
To use LocalDocs with PDF files:
a. First, you need to create a collection by clicking "+ Add Collection" in the LocalDocs settings.
b. Name your collection and link it to a folder containing your PDF files.
c. The system will then index these files, making them available for the AI to reference. -
During a chat, you can enable the LocalDocs feature by clicking the database icon in the top-right corner of the chat interface. This allows the AI to access and reference the indexed documents in your collections.
The paperclip icon you're referring to is likely for a different feature, which as of the latest information in the knowledge sources, is primarily used for Excel documents and potentially other file types in the future.
For more detailed information on setting up and using LocalDocs, you can refer to the GPT4All Documentation on LocalDocs (https://docs.gpt4all.io/gpt4all_desktop/localdocs.html#localdocs).
