Created GPT doesnt access uploaded documents in knowledge base

Hi I have created a gpt to write draft reports and as apart of that I have uploaded a number of documents into its knowledge for it to reference. But everytime I ask for it to reference one it always says that it doesnt have access to it.

So I might say something like. Within the Ballarat planning scheme (this is in the file name) I have uploaded into knowledge list all clauses to do with ‘X’

It will either say I dont have that in my knowledge or it will use the internet and do a web search. It also does the same thing even if I directly attach the pdf to the message I am sending to it. So am I asking the wrong question?

If it helps my broad goal is to configure it to write reports with a specific kind of structure to it, are there any things I can do to do this? like uploaded a document called report structure?

Hi @dylanh :wave:
Welcome :people_hugging: to the community!

Have you checked the knowledge files under Configure tab in GPT Editor page if they are uploaded correctly. Can you see them in GPT?

For example:

Hi Thanks for the reply.

Yep the document is in there. If it helps, I have to write reports that assess applications against different clauses within that Planning Scheme document.

You may replace and try following instruction in your GPT.

You should write your files’ names in it.

It depends on the knowledge you upload. Does the AI ​​already have the basic knowledge of that? And you should check the supported file types. You can try using the command to ask about the version updates in your language, but mine is in Thai. “เวอร์ชั่นอัพเดทใหม่นี้มีอะไรบ้าง”

If it doesn’t process, it could be your document. The most common error I see is language incompatibility.
