Overview
Transform the way you interact with documents and projects. You can engage in productive Q&A sessions with Taskade AI and ask questions about the contents of your projects, files, and attachments. Four entry points let you pick whichever fits your flow.
TL;DR: Ask Taskade AI questions about your projects, PDFs, images, audio, and video, then save the answers straight into a project. Start from inside a project, an attachment, Media Files, or a shared team chat. Files first live in the Media Files.
Method 1: Chat with Projects
- Navigate to any of your projects.
- Click the chat button 💬 in the top-right corner.
- Choose Ask Project from the drop-down at the top of the chat box.
- Ask questions about the project.
Note: Only you can see the contents of the chats in the Ask Project tab.
Method 2: Chat with Your Team
You can now chat about your documents with your team & Taskade AI at the same time.
- Click the chat button 💬 in the top-right corner.
- Choose Taskade AI from the drop-down at the top of the chat box.

Note: Shared chats are visible to all members of the project.
Method 3: Chat with Files

Method 4: Chat in Media Files

What You Can Attach to a Message
The chat composer accepts images, PDF, and text files. Text formats cover TXT, MD, CSV, and JSON.
| Attachment | Notes |
|---|---|
| Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP) | Up to 20 MB each. Taskade reads the text inside them with built-in OCR |
| Up to 20 MB each. Read directly | |
| TXT, MD, CSV, JSON | Up to 200 KB each. Read as text |
If an image or a PDF is over 20 MB, Taskade names the file and does not attach it. If a text file is over 200 KB, Taskade names the file and points you to the agent's Knowledge tab.
The files in one chat also share a total size limit. If the attached files add up to more than the AI can read, the chat shows Files too large for the AI to read.
If a file is too large, pick the fix that fits:
- One large file: Split it into smaller files, or export its text and attach the text instead.
- Too many files in one chat: Start a new chat and attach fewer or smaller files.
- Material you need on every reply: Add it to Agent Knowledge & Memory instead.
If a file type is not supported, Taskade tells you which types it accepts. It does not drop the file silently.
