# Your Files

In the **Your Files** section, you can upload your own study materials, such as PDFs, documents, or textbooks, to enhance your learning experience with AI-powered assistance.

1. **Upload Your Materials:**
   * Click the "Upload" button to add your study materials to the platform. You can upload a variety of file types, including PDFs, documents, and more.
2. **AI-Powered Assistance:**
   * Once your files are uploaded, you can click the AI icon located in the bottom left corner of the screen to access context-aware assistance.
   * The AI can interact with your uploaded files, helping you with any questions by providing detailed, context-specific responses.
3. **Integrated Learning:**
   * This feature is seamlessly integrated into both the **desktop extension** and the **mobile app**, offering instant help whenever you need it. Once you upload your class materials into a Study Set, you can access Notebook via the extension or mobile app and enable the study set for AI context-aware assistance.
   * For example, if you upload a book or textbook to your study set and have an assignment question about a specific chapter, the AI will not only provide an answer but also highlight the exact sections of the book where the information was found. This ensures that you have the most relevant information at your fingertips, making your study sessions more efficient and effective.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://guides.transcript.study/transcript-notebook/guides/your-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
