Uploading Files in AI Chat

How to attach files in Tern AI Chat, which file types are supported, and the size and attachment limits.

Written by Jade Pathe

You can now attach files directly in Tern AI Chat. Upload a supplier quote, a PDF, or an image, and the AI uses it alongside your prompt to build and edit trips.

What it does

File upload lets you give AI Chat real source material to work from. Instead of retyping details, you attach the document and ask the AI to act on it. It reads the file and uses its contents to create trips, add travelers, apply templates, and fill in details such as cabin options.

How it works

You attach one or more files to a message using the file upload option in the chat, then send your prompt as usual. The AI reads the attached files and combines them with your instructions to complete the task. You can keep chatting after the upload to refine the itinerary or edit any details.

How to upload a file

Steps

  1. Open AI Chat and find the file upload option in the message box.

  2. Select the file you want to attach. For example, a supplier quote for a cruise.

  3. Type your prompt describing what you want the AI to do. For example: "Create a new trip, add travelers, apply the cruise template, and add the cabin proposed."

  4. Send the message. The AI reads the attached file and uses it along with your prompt.

  5. Review and accept the AI's actions. The AI searches ships and cabins, matches the template and traveler, and proposes the cabin from your quote. Confirm the details are correct as it works.

  6. Continue editing in chat. You can ask the AI to add port images, update the itinerary, or open and preview the full trip.
