Folders

Folders are a powerful way to organize your AI interactions and documents. In Nexal AI, folders aren’t just for organization—they provide context that helps the AI understand your projects better.

​

Understanding Folders

Think of a folder as a dedicated project workspace. When you create a folder, you can group related conversations and upload documentation that the AI can reference.

​

Key Capabilities

• Organize Chats: Group related conversations together by project, topic, or client.
• Project Files: Upload files, images, and documents directly to a folder.
• AI Context Awareness: When chatting within a folder, the AI automatically understands the context and can search through all files in that folder.
• Visual Previews: Quick access to file thumbnails and document icons within the folder panel.

​

Managing Your Folders

​

Creating a Folder

1. Open the Folders panel from the sidebar or dashboard.
2. Click the + Create New Folder button.
3. Enter a name and an optional description for your project.
4. Click Create Folder to save.

​

Editing and Deleting

• Edit: Click the edit icon (pencil) next to a folder name to rename it or update the description.
• Delete: Click the trash icon to remove a folder. Note: Deleting a folder will also remove the organization of conversations within it, but won’t delete the conversations themselves.

​

Organizing Conversations

You can add any conversation to a folder to keep your sidebar clean and focused.

1. Hover over a conversation in your sidebar.
2. Click the Move to Folder option.
3. Select an existing folder or create a new one.
4. The conversation will now appear under that folder in the Folders panel.

​

Managing Project Files

Folders allow you to store relevant documents right where you need them.

1. Open a folder in the Folders panel.
2. Click the Upload file button.
3. Drag and drop or select files from your computer.
4. Supported files include PDFs, Images, Text documents, and more.

​

Interactive File Previews

Once uploaded, you can see thumbnails for images and distinct icons for different file types. Hovering over a file allows you to:

• Delete: Remove a file from the folder using the red trash icon.

​

Folder-Aware AI

The real power of folders comes from Context Awareness. When you start a chat within a folder, the AI receives additional context about that folder. This enables the AI to:

• Use the Knowledge Base Search tool more effectively.
• Automatically reference files uploaded to that specific folder.
• Provide more relevant answers based on the project context.
