# File Upload in Basic Mode
## Pre-requisite:
a. You need to have an iX Hello account for this. Contact our team to have your account created.
b. Login in and Click on **Add a New Assistant**.
This takes you to the iX Hello Blueprint Library, which is a collection of templates that you can use to create ready-to-use AI-Apps. Refer to [this](/ixhc/general/ix-hello-basic-mode.md) to create an app in Basic Mode.
You can explore the possibilities here. But for now, let’s focus on creating the GPT-Service Assistant. On the search bar, type ‘GPT-Service Assistant’.
Click on **Create App**. Fill the details as you proceed.
### To upload files:
After filling up all the other details, open the Training tab.
Scroll down until you see a feature called "Upload Files". This feature supports multiple file formats and integrates with local storage, ensuring data security and accessibility.
**Accepted File Formats**
* .PDF
* .CSV
* .DOCX
* .XLSX
The "Choose Files" option allows you to upload data from your local device or computer to an online server or storage system. This feature facilitates the sharing of various file types, such as documents, images, and videos, over the internet.
When creating an Assistant, users can upload up to 10 files, with each file not exceeding 1 MB in size. When a user attempts to upload more files than allowed, the application will display an error message indicating the limit has been exceeded.
Once the desired files are uploaded, click on **Save** button. Once the files are uploaded successfully you get see the below screen.
The files are now available for use by the assistant.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.ixhello.com/ixhc/general/rag-file-upload/file-upload-in-basic-mode-1.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
