Resources

What resources are

Resources are files made available in Kitemesh to enrich a chat, document a model, or share working context.

Types and statuses

Resources can represent several kinds of content:

• Document
• Image
• Audio
• Video

Their lifecycle usually moves through these statuses:

• Pending
• Vectorizing
• Ready
• Failed
• Deleting

Where a resource can belong

A resource can be attached to different scopes depending on the intended use:

• user
• conversation
• team
• custom model
• group model

The right choice depends on visibility and reuse:

• conversation for a one-off need
• team for shared content
• model or group for reusable context

Add a file

1. Open Configuration.
2. Select the Resources tab.
3. Click Add file.
4. Select the file.
5. Choose where it should be shared in Shared with.
6. Click Upload.

Once the upload starts, the file appears with its current processing status. Files in Pending or Vectorizing can take a moment before they are Ready.

If the upload is blocked by a billing or file limit, Kitemesh shows the recovery action when one is available.

Use resources in chat

From chat configuration, it is possible to:

• inspect available files by section
• include or exclude specific files
• download an existing file

This is especially useful when a workspace contains many files and the chat should only use a limited subset.

Delete a resource

Deleting a resource removes the file from the selected scope. Before deleting, confirm that the file is no longer needed by a group model, a team, or an important conversation.

Edit sharing

Use Edit scope to replace the teams, custom models, or group models that can use the resource. Leaving the list empty keeps the file personal unless it belongs to a conversation.

Good practices

• Organize files by use, not by habit.
• Use explicit file names.
• Prefer team resources for shared material.
• Clean up temporary resources when they are no longer useful.
