Trouble?
For troubleshooting, consider the following:
- Brian can summarize three types of documents (native PDF, pptx and docx), regular text as well as URLs – of websites, YouTube videos, and research reports
- If you have a scanned PDF, please convert it to Word or PowerPoint using Brian and then ask for summarization using the converted file
- Please share with Brian the actual file(s) – not a link (e.g. to SharePoint), Brian has no access to your file system
- Please attach one file only – if you have more files, trigger more requests
- Files having characters like % \ / : * ? ” < > | # + in their file names are not supported on MS Teams
- Brian handles files of up to 20MB – if you have a PDF you can ask Brian to split it in two parts
- Brian can not process encrypted files – some files are protected from processing even if it is not visible for you – so, if Brian tells you the file is encrypted, he can not handle it
