Hi @silk crow. 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 knowledge sources provided, I can answer your question about the types of documents that can be loaded with Local Documents (LocalDocs) in GPT4All.

According to the GPT4All Documentation (https://docs.gpt4all.io/gpt4all_desktop/settings.html#settings), LocalDocs currently supports the following file types:

  • Plain text files (.txt)
  • PDF files (.pdf)
  • Markdown files (.md)
  • reStructuredText files (.rst)

This information is specifically mentioned in the "Allowed File Extensions" setting under the LocalDocs Settings section.

It's worth noting that there have been discussions and feature requests to expand support for additional file types. For instance, there's an open issue on GitHub requesting support for email formats such as eml, mbox, and pst GitHub Issue #1033 (https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all/issues/1033). However, as of the latest information provided in the knowledge sources, these additional formats are not officially supported.

If you need to use other file types with LocalDocs, you may need to convert them to one of the supported formats mentioned above.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
