Uploading Word, Excel, PDF, and CSV Files for AI Search

Many knowledge bases begin with simple uploads. Teams bring Word documents, DOCX files, PDFs, Excel workbooks, CSV exports, and presentations into a private search layer.

The ingestion pipeline extracts text, preserves metadata, splits content into retrievable chunks, and stores enough source context to support citations later.

Practical Tips

Group uploads by team or use case. Keep filenames readable, preserve folder structure when possible, and review sample answers before rolling search out to a wider group.
