Attach PDF and Excel Files to Codatum Agent Chats

You can now attach PDF and Excel (.xlsx) files to your chats with Codatum Agent. Share documents or spreadsheets you have on hand and ask Codatum Agent to summarize them, answer questions about them, or compare them with figures in your data warehouse.

Attach files as before: choose Attach files under Add (+) in the chat input, or drag and drop files onto the input.

Key features

  • Read text in PDFs: Codatum Agent reads the text on each page, including text added as annotations and values entered in form fields

  • Read every sheet in Excel files: Codatum Agent reads cell values on all sheets. For cells with formulas, it reads the calculated values

  • Attach alongside existing formats: PDF and Excel join images, CSV, TSV, TXT, Markdown, and JSON. You can attach up to 10 files to a single message

Example use cases

  • Attach a PDF from a business partner, have Codatum Agent summarize the key points, and then aggregate the related figures from your data warehouse

  • Attach the Excel file you use to manage budgets or targets and have Codatum Agent compare it with actuals in your data warehouse to find gaps

  • Attach a PDF describing your metric definitions and aggregation rules, and have Codatum Agent write SQL that follows them
