I can't attach an image in chat
The image button is greyed out. Not every assistant can read images yet. Hover over the button to see why, and try another assistant if you need image feedback.
Too many images. You can attach up to 5 images per message.
Wrong format. Use JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF. iPhone HEIC photos may need converting. Sharing them via email or AirDrop usually sends a JPG.
A file won't upload to My Files
Check the file type. Supported: PDF, Word (.docx, .doc), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), CSV, .txt, .md, HTML, XML and JSON. For images, attach them in chat instead.
Very large or scanned PDFs can take longer. Wait for Processing to finish before using the file.
Seeing a duplicate warning? You've already uploaded that file. Use the existing copy.
The Document Processor or Analytics won't start
Both work on a specific brand. Make sure a brand is selected under Active Brand, then try again.
My Shopify import failed
Upload the products CSV exported from Shopify (Products → Export), not an orders or customers export.
Don't edit the column headers before uploading.
Check Import History for the error, and see Import your products from Shopify.
Still stuck?
Email support@getdesireai.com with the file name, file type and what happened.
