# 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.

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

`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.
