Note
Upload files and chat is only available to users on an Amazon Q Business Pro
Plan
Users using the Amazon Q Business web experience can upload documents and use the uploaded documents to ask questions and summarize or analyze data based on the content of the uploaded documents. Amazon Q provides a list of recent documents, enabling users to find and reuse recently attached files in new conversations without re-uploading. Users can upload new files from their computer, select from recent files, or drag and drop files directly into any conversation.
Users can upload up to 5 files during a conversation. The maximum upload size is 10MB for files and 3.75 MB for images. The total parsed content for all files combined has to be under 665,000 characters. Documents uploaded through the chat interface are deleted with the associated conversation after 30 days of inactivity. Once files are attached to a conversation, they cannot be deleted individually. Users must delete the entire conversation to remove attached files.
Using the Amazon Q Business web experience, you can upload documents and use them to ask questions and summarize or analyze data based on their content. When you start a new conversation, you can upload new files, choose from a saved list of recent documents, or drag and drop files directly into the conversation.
You can upload up to 5 files of 10 MB or less during a conversation. The total parsed content for all files combined must be less than 665,000 characters. The documents that you upload through the chat interface are deleted, along with the associated conversation after 30 days of inactivity. After a file is attached to a conversation, you can't delete that individual document. You must delete the entire conversation to remove the files that are attached.
To use this feature, enable Allow end users to send queries directly to the LLM in Admin controls and guardrails. For more information, see the Response settings topic in Admin controls and guardrails.
Amazon Q Business supports specific document types for upload. To learn more about the document types that can be uploaded, see Supported document formats in Amazon Q Business.
If you plan to upload comma separated value (CSV) or Microsoft Excel (XLS, XLSX) files, we recommend using tables that have no more than 4 columns and 10 rows for best results.
Important
Audio formats such as MP3, MP4, FLAC, WAV and Video formats such as MP4 and MOV are not supported for chat upload.
