Steps

1

Create a New File Input

Start by creating a new Input. Select Input type “PDF / Document File”. Don’t forget to give your input a name for clarity! I called mine PDF, but it could also make sense to indicate what it is, like “resume” or “report”. File Input Demo

Mention the File Input in the Flow

Add a generation, upload the file and run the flow!

If you haven’t already, add an instruction to the flow. And then add a new generation node by typing /generation in the editor. File Input Demo We recommend using a model that accepts PDF’s natively, like the Gemini Models or Sonnet 3.5/3.7. You can filter by PDF capabilities in the model selector. All models work, but these tend to perform better.
