I have created the chat component and attached a vector database to the component. Is it possible to add the file upload option in the chatbot just like in the chatGPT, where you can upload the file and ask questions about it?
You can use a file upload component. Although this would be outside of the chat component.
Depending on the data type of the file, you may need to convert the file's data into a format which the model can interpret from the AI Query.
Then take the data from that file and pass it to an AI query and ask the model questions about the input.
Uploading data to a vector DB must be done manually via the UI currently, which isn't too hard foe app editors to do but likely won't work for app users.
Check out our Youtube video on building AI agent here as well as this video on extracting data from a PDF file to help you get going in the right direction and understand what can be done to take data from an upload component, format/convert it so it can be used by an LLM and then passed into the chat component/chat AI query action to generate a response!
