- Check your internet connection
Document processing stuck
Document processing stuck
Large or complex documents may take longer to process. If processing hasn’t completed after 10 minutes, try re-uploading the file. Very large documents (100+ pages) may need to be split.
ZIP file not extracting
ZIP file not extracting
ZIP files extract up to 50 files maximum. If your archive contains more, split it into multiple ZIPs or upload files individually.
Image text not extracted
Image text not extracted
Text extraction from images depends on image quality. Ensure images are clear, well-lit, and text is legible. Scanned documents should be at least 300 DPI.
Response Generation
Low trust scores
Low trust scores
Low trust scores indicate your Library may not have enough relevant content for the question.Solutions:
- Upload more documents related to the topic
- Check if the right sources are whitelisted in Custom Sources
- Add Q&A pairs directly to your Library for common questions
Responses missing expected content
Responses missing expected content
If responses don’t include content you know exists in your Library:
- Check Custom Sources settings - the source may be blacklisted
- Verify the document was fully processed (check Library for extracted Q&A pairs)
- Try regenerating the response

Context not being followed
Context not being followed
If Custom Context instructions aren’t reflected in responses:
- Be more specific (instead of “be brief”, say “limit to 100 words”)
- Check for conflicting instructions
- Regenerate responses after updating context settings
