Filter and Search Postgres

- This tool is now available in the agent configuration under the Tools section

PDF Understanding
- Agents can now understand PDFs that are uploaded in a conversation
- PDF Understanding is powered by two features:
- Traditional OCR to extract readable text from the PDF and provide it to the Agent
- PDF-to-image conversion that enables the Agent to “see” the first 5 pages of the PDF
PDF Understanding is currently in beta and has multiple limitations
Limitations:
- Only the first 5 pages of the PDF are processed into images that the Agent can “see”; only the readable text from remaining pages is provided to the Agent
- PDFs bigger than 3MB may fail to process
- PDF-to-image conversion causes a delay in the Agent’s response time
- PDF URLs that are accessed via the Scrape URL tool do not have PDF-to-image conversion enabled, so the agent will only get extracted text
Copy Code to Clipboard
- Code blocks now have a copy button to easily copy the code to your clipboard
