​
Sharing files, images, and voice

You can send WednesdayAI more than text. Attach a photo, a screenshot, a PDF, or a document and ask questions about it - the AI works with the attachment directly.

​
How to share something

Attach the file in your chat app the way you normally would, and add a message saying what you want:
(attach a photo) “What’s in this picture?” (attach a screenshot) “Why is this error happening?” (attach a PDF) “Summarise this report in five bullet points.”
You can send the attachment and your question together, or send the attachment first and then ask.

​
Images and photos

The AI can look at photos and screenshots and describe, interpret, or answer questions about them.
“Is this plant healthy?” “Read the text in this screenshot and explain the warning.” “What’s the total on this receipt?”
Image analysis is available when your administrator has set up an image-capable model. If the AI says it cannot see images, ask your admin.

​
PDFs and documents

The AI can read PDFs and answer questions, summarise them, or compare several at once (up to about ten in one go).
“Summarise the key risks in this contract.” “Compare these two quotes and tell me which is cheaper overall.” (attach both) “Pull out just the customer-impacting items from pages 1 to 3.”
For long PDFs you can point it at a specific page range, like “look only at pages 1-3 and 7”.

​
Voice notes

On channels that support it, you can send a voice note and the AI will transcribe and respond to it - handy when typing is awkward. Just record and send as you normally would. The AI can also reply with voice if your administrator has enabled it. Turn spoken replies on with: 
/tts always
(On Discord, use /voice instead.)

​
What each channel supports

Support depends on the channel and how your admin set it up:
  • Images and screenshots work on most channels.
  • PDFs and documents work where the channel allows file attachments (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and others).
  • Voice notes depend on the channel and on voice being enabled.
If an attachment does not seem to reach the AI, your administrator may need to enable inbound attachments for that channel.

​
Tips

  • Be specific. “Summarise this in five bullets” gets a better answer than “what’s this”.
  • Big files may be limited. Channels and the gateway cap attachment size; very large files may be rejected. Ask your admin if a file will not go through.
  • Keep sensitive documents in mind. Anything you send is processed by the gateway and the AI model - share accordingly.
