Uploading files using the prompt bar

Click the 📎 paper clip icon at the bottom right of the prompt bar to upload a file. You can also drag and drop files or browse your device. This works whether you're starting a new chat or continuing an existing one.

Already deep into a conversation? No problem. Use the paper clip to add new files mid-thread—Storytell will update its understanding with the new content right away.

Once uploaded, your file will go through these stages: Understanding file processing and status

Uploading: A circular loading icon will appear.
Processing: A file icon with a blinking blue circle will show. During this time, the file becomes searchable, usable in @mentions, and processed for Concepts.
Ready: A checkmark icon indicates the file is ready for use.
Failed: If something goes wrong, you’ll see a warning icon. You can delete and re-upload the file to try again.
