Short answer
How can I tell if my AI has finished reading my documents?
Ask your AI to check the status of your knowledge base. It will verify if files are fully processed or still syncing, so you know when the data is reliable.
Sync outcomes
Status check results
What you see when you ask about your files.
READY
Full knowledge access
The AI confirms all files are indexed. You can start asking questions immediately without missing context.
PENDING
Sync in progress
The AI identifies that files are still being processed. It will tell you to wait before relying on the data.
ERROR
Processing issues

Can I see a list of all my files?
Yes. The AI can pull a full list of your documents to show you what is in the knowledge base.
