- Review the AI's analysis and ask follow-up questions as needed
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Q: What if the AI doesn't understand my document properly?
Try asking more specific questions about particular sections or rephrase your query. The AI works better with targeted questions than broad requests. In some cases, the document may have been processed incorrectly, try to upload the document again and see if responses improve.
Q: Why can't I see my uploaded document in other chats?
Documents are specific to each chat session. To start a chat with the same document, either go back to an existing chat with that document attached from the history or start a new chat and select the document to be included.
Each document uploaded to the Mastt AI can be seen by other users on that project. It will also be stored in the project Documents Module.
Q: How do I delete the documents/files I've uploaded?
To delete a file from the Mastt AI interface, go to the Documents Module and click the trash icon to delete that file. You should be able to find it by the file name.
It is good practice to delete the chat thread before deletion of the related document as it may cause errors to chat in a thread where the document is now deleted.
Q: What happens if I upload a large document?
The AI can process large documents/files but may this process will take longer. Expect the upload process to take a few minutes for very large documents.
The AI should not take much longer to respond on large documents, but you may expect a small increase in response delay as the AI reviews a larger scope of content.
