Input .docx/ .xlsx file as user prompt

Hello everyone!
How could I have an agent accepts as a prompt a file? (Like you send a file to ChatGPT interface and it read its content)?
By the way, since I’m using a Teams and it has no support for Playground yet, I presume I would need to create a frontend to allow this input from the user. I’m currently testing on Streamlit, but still need to add the file to the coordinator Agent context.
Thank you, and CONGRATS for this awesome framework !!

Hey!

Great question, and thank you for the kind words about Agno! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the framework!

The playground support for teams is in works and will be out soon. Thank you for expressing the interest.

For accepting file as a prompt to agent:

from agno.models.anthropic import Claude

agent = Agent(
    model=Claude(id="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"),
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response(
    "Summarize the contents of the attached file.",
    files=[
        File(url="https://agno-public.s3.amazonaws.com/recipes/ThaiRecipes.pdf"),
    ],
    stream=True,
)

cookbook/models/openai/responses/pdf_input_url.py

main

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.media import File
from agno.models.openai.responses import OpenAIResponses

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-4o-mini"),
    tools=[{"type": "file_search"}, {"type": "web_search_preview"}],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response(
    "Summarize the contents of the attached file and search the web for more information.",
    files=[File(url="https://agno-public.s3.amazonaws.com/recipes/ThaiRecipes.pdf")],
)

print("Citations:")
print(agent.run_response.citations)

we can do this from terminal.

Hey @Monali thanks for your attention! I still haven’t found a way to use .xslx tools though, any ideia?

Hey @henriquetoledos , We just release support for teams in playground, try it out.

Unfortunately we don’t support xlsx knowledge base yet, I recommend converting xlsx to csv format and using csv kb.

Here is docs on how to use csv knowledge base - CSV Knowledge Base - Agno

Incase you have any doubts, feel free to reach out
