Chat attachments
Attach files when Mythos needs the original reference, data, or document to complete a request. Open the + menu beside the composer and choose Attach. You can select images and supported files together, then explain what you want Mythos to do with them.
A screenshot can show the layout you want. A CSV can supply the records for a catalog. A product brief can explain the feature you want to build. The attachment provides context; your prompt provides the task.
Attach files to a prompt
Review the attachments
Each selected item appears above the composer. Remove anything you do not want to send. If a file is rejected, read the message and check its type and size.
Supported files
Mythos treats supported images as visual input automatically. You do not need to choose a separate photo picker. Tell Mythos whether an image is a reference or should appear in the app itself.
Attaching an audio file does not automatically transcribe it. Describe the audio task and connect any service that task requires. Spreadsheets such as XLSX and archives such as ZIP are not accepted by the chat attachment picker; export the relevant data as CSV or attach supported individual files.
Attachment limits
These limits apply to one message:
An image counts toward both the 15-item total and the 10-image total. A group of individually valid files can still exceed the combined limit. Remove files, reduce their size, or split the task into smaller requests.

When files become part of the app
An attachment belongs to the message you send it with. Plan can use it as context without changing the project’s code. In Build, originals are added to the project only with a successful delivery.
An attachment is not automatically displayed on the published site. Ask Mythos to use it in the app and say where it should appear. A visual reference can guide a design without becoming a public asset.
Review attachments before sending. Do not upload passwords, private keys, payment secrets, or personal data that the task does not require.
Inputs attached in chat do not appear in Files. That view contains the generated files Mythos creates for you.
