Files
Upload and manage files that enhance your AI context. Share resumes, portfolios, certifications, and other documents that help AI understand your background.
Why Upload Files?
Files add depth to your context that text alone can't provide. When you share your ContextFile profile with an AI, it can access your uploaded documents to provide more accurate and detailed assistance. Your resume tells AI about your complete work history, your portfolio shows your best work, and certifications prove your expertise.
