Ever wished your documents could answer back? With Libraries, you can store your files once in le Chat and then ask questions about them in any conversation.
Here’s how to create your first Library and start using it.
Create your first Library
Open the Libraries page
Click the toggle panel button (1) to reveal le Chat's side panel if it's not already visible.
Expand the Intelligence menu (2), and click Libraries (3).
Click on Libraries
Create a Library
Click New Library and give it a name (e.g., My first Library — you can change it later).
📌 In practice, give your Library a clear name so it’s easy to find later. The name will also be visible to your teammates if the Library is shared.
Click New Library
Name your Library
Upload your documents
Your Library is empty at first. Let’s add two demo files:

Use your Library
Enable your Library and start chatting
In any conversation, click the + button (1), then search for your Library (2) or select it from the list (3).
Now ask:
What’s the average temperature in Paris in January?
Asking a question to your Library
Le Chat retrieves the answer directly from your Library: 5.5 °C 🥶.
