The Amazon Nova models allow you to include documents in the payload through the Converse API document support, which can be provided as bytes to the API. The document support has two different variants as explained below:
-
First, text based document types like (txt, csv, md, and so on) where the emphasis is on text understanding. These use cases include answering based on textual elements in the documents.
-
Second, Media based document types like (pdf, docx), where the emphasis is on vision-based understanding to answer questions. These use cases include answering questions based on charts, graphs, and so on.
Document size limitations
Any text documents (csv, xls, xlsx, html, txt, md, or doc) that you include must not exceed 4.5MB per document. All included media documents, including pdf and docx files, must not exceed 18MB in total. You can include a maximum of 5 documents. Any documents that exceed these limits are rejected by Amazon Nova.
