Ask Hamster about the files you've uploaded

Every PDF, image, and text document is now searchable context, plus Blocked and Archived initiative states and Linear sync for sub-initiatives.

Files in the context graph

Uploaded files used to be stored but not searchable. Every PDF, image, and text document you upload is now searchable context, alongside the documents you write in the editor.

The Referenced Context panel listing a URL still processing, an SVG diagram still processing, a PDF roadmap, and a text interview file, above a chat where Hamster answers a question about acceptance criteria by citing the Shopify Plus Integration Spec and Fulfillment SLA Requirements from that uploaded context

Hamster cites the specific passage from an uploaded file when that file answers the question.
