Documents are the foundation of your chatbot's knowledge. To upload:
Aimy accepts the following file types. Scanned PDFs and images are read with OCR, so even photos of documents can be indexed.
| Type | Extensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
.pdf | Text and scanned/OCR PDFs. | |
| Word | .doc, .docx | Microsoft Word documents. |
| Excel | .xls, .xlsx | Spreadsheets; larger sheets may take longer to index. |
| PowerPoint | .ppt, .pptx | Slide text is extracted. |
| OpenDocument | .odt, .ods, .odp | LibreOffice / OpenOffice files. |
| Text & Markup | .txt, .md, .markdown, .html, .htm | Plain text, Markdown, and HTML. |
| Images | .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .tiff, .tif, .bmp, .webp, .gif | Read with OCR. |
When you update a document (re-upload or replace it), answers reflect the change once re-indexing finishes — no manual retraining needed. You can also delete documents you no longer need; both the file and its vector embeddings are removed.
Each plan has a storage limit, shown on the Knowledge Base page along with how much you've used:
