SchoolAI lets you upload your own files — handbooks, lesson materials, rubrics, etc. — to give the AI more context to draw from. You can do this while building a Space, using an Assistant or Tool, or chatting in a Space session. Here's what to know about file size limits and how much context to upload for the best results.
File size limits by plan
Each time you upload a file (in the Space creator, an Assistant, a Tool, or during a live chat), that individual file must fall within your plan's limit. You can upload up to 5 files per upload attempt (the app will let you know if you hit this limit):
Plan | Limit per file |
Free | 10MB |
Pro Trial, Pro, and Scale | 50MB |
This is a per-file limit, not a total limit. You can repeat the upload flow (up to 5 files per upload) multiple times, attaching more files to the same Space or conversation — as long as each individual file and each upload batch stays within the limits above.
Is there a limit on total files?
No, there's no hard cap on the total number or combined size of files you attach to a Space or conversation. That said, more isn't always better.
You can add as much context as you need, but as the amount of context increases, especially across many large files, AI responses may become less targeted or precise. This is a limitation of AI models in general (not just ours) — the more you ask the AI to hold onto at once, the harder it is for it to consistently reference all of it.
Tips for getting the best results
Keep uploads relevant. Attach the files and information most relevant to what you want the AI to do. More context isn't always better, and large amounts of unrelated content can make responses less targeted.
Be selective with very large documents. You can upload full documents, but if you only need the AI to work with one chapter or section, providing just that content can help it focus on what matters.
Be specific in your prompt. Tell the AI which file, section, topic, or information you want it to use. This becomes especially helpful when you've attached multiple files.
Check important results. For tasks where accuracy matters, verify that the response reflects the source material. If it misses something, point the AI toward the relevant file or section.
