What VDF AI Data is for
VDF AI Data supports the document and content side of the platform. It helps VDF AI work with uploaded files, connected knowledge sources, and generated artifacts more effectively.
Use it when you want to:
- organize source material for later use
- reuse uploaded or connected content in future prompts
- generate cleaner, document-based outputs
- make shared knowledge easier to search across the workspace
Typical user tasks
- upload and reuse reports, briefs, notes, or specifications
- search connected documentation and bring it into a task
- compare versions of documents and extract changes
- generate summaries, checklists, or structured outputs from large files
- maintain a more reliable base of reference material for your team
Where it shows up in daily work
Even if you do not open a separate “data” area often, you will feel the effect of VDF AI Data whenever you:
- attach a file in Chat
- search across connected documentation
- ask VDF AI to reference previous documents
- export or store generated outputs
Tips for stronger document workflows
- Upload the latest source instead of relying on memory.
- Use specific file names or folder context in prompts.
- Keep connected documentation sources current so search results stay useful.
- Ask for a format up front: summary, table, checklist, or decision log.
When to use Data-heavy workflows
Choose document-centered workflows when the quality of the result depends on the source material more than the wording of the prompt alone.
Examples:
- “Turn this policy document into a plain-language checklist.”
- “Compare these two proposals and highlight the differences.”
- “Search our docs for all references to onboarding and summarize the key steps.”
Common issues
The answer does not seem grounded in the right file
Name the file or attach it directly. If you are using a connected app, confirm the document exists in the connected source.
I expected search results but got a generic answer
Connect the documentation source you want VDF AI to use, or tell it exactly which folder, file, or knowledge source to search.
The generated output is too long
Specify the length, audience, and structure you want before running the task.
