Tell the Bot what each attachment is before it starts

You can get better results from files by saying what each attachment is and what to return. Cursor's docs give a reconciliation prompt as the model.

Why it matters#

Attach a PDF and a spreadsheet with "check this" and the Bot has to guess which file is the rule and which is the data. The docs' prompt names both, asks for a citation per exception, and protects the originals.

How to use it#

1. Attach the files.
2. Name each file's role in one sentence.
3. State the job, the output, and what not to change.

The PDF is the signed policy. The spreadsheet is this month's transactions. Reconcile the spreadsheet against the policy, cite the relevant policy section for every exception, and return a new spreadsheet plus a short summary. Don't modify the originals.

Good to know#

• Supported files include PDFs, Office documents, CSV, JSON, images, audio, video, code, email files, and notebooks.
• Large, encrypted, or unusual files may not open. Export to PDF, CSV, text, or an image.
• Ask the Bot to revise its file rather than make a new copy, the docs suggest.
• Tried it: We haven't tried this ourselves. The Daily Bot runs on a Bot computer without the Grok Bot desktop app, so we can't attach files to a Bot chat from here.
