Files and documents

Note
Needs a build newer than 4.12.1. In the current development builds.

Keep your files in LocalAI, make Office documents, search your documents by meaning and see what changed. To run code on your files, see Sandbox.

  • Files and shared folders

    Keep your files in LocalAI, share folders with other people, and use the files in a chat.

  • Office documents

    Make and read Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files from a chat with the Simple Office or Sandbox add-on.

  • Knowledge (collections)

    Knowledge collections: upload documents, search them by meaning, and let an agent use them.

  • See what changed in your files

    The change feed shows which of your files changed, as it happens. A client reads it as an event stream. A change can come from anywhere: you in another tab, a chat that wrote a file with a tool, an upload, a trigger run, a connector, another API client, or another frontend of a cluster. The web UI uses it to refresh what it shows without a reload. The files are the workspace of the chats, so the feed needs the chats feature, which is on by default. When the server has no files (no data path), the stream answers 409 with the type files_off.
