What Ursa Can Do with Files

Read and summarize document contents
Analyze spreadsheet data and answer questions about rows, columns, and values
Answer questions about the content of any uploaded file

Example Prompts with File Uploads
Upload a photo of a receipt: "Extract the vendor name, date, and total amount from this receipt."
Upload a spreadsheet: "Summarize the data in this file and tell me how many items have a status of 'Active'."
Upload a PDF manual: "What are the maintenance intervals listed in this document?"
Upload an image of a label: "Read the serial number and model information from this label."
Tips for Best Results
Use clear, high-resolution images — Blurry or dark images may produce inaccurate text extraction.
Upload well-formatted documents — Organized documents with clear headings and structure produce better results.
Include context in your message — Tell Ursa what specific information you're looking for in the file.
Keep files under the size limit — If a file is too large, consider splitting it or uploading only the relevant pages.
