# Chatting with your files

Bigdata lets you upload and interact with your own files. This is available on both desktop and mobile.

Need to analyze a specific report, contract, or research paper? Simply upload it, and Bigdata will help you
extract the key information you need. It's a powerful tool that saves you time and ensures you get the most out of your research.

There are two ways to chat with your documents:

## Chat with Files from the homepage

* Click the paperclip icon to attach one or more files.
* Type your question or request.
* Hit "Send" and Bigdata will analyze your uploaded documents.

  **Good to know:** If you upload a document without a question, Bigdata will automatically "Summarize this document" to get you started.
