Autopilot For Everyone - Enable index in Context Grounding

Help Autopilot
2

Check File Format and Encoding

  • Ensure the PDF is not scanned (image-based) —Autopilot needs text-based PDFs for proper indexing.
  • Try uploading a simple text-only PDF as a test — if it works, the issue may be with the specific PDF you uploaded.

Check File Permissions

  • Ensure your storage bucket is
    • In the same folder where Autopilot is being used
    • You have read access to it
  • Try downloading the file manually from the bucket to ensure access is working.

Limit File Size

  • ECS indexing may fail if the file is too large or has too many pages.
  • As a test, upload a small PDF (e.g., 1–2 pages) and add it to Context Grounding. If that works, your original file might be too large or complex.

Avoid Special Characters in File Name

  • File names with characters like #, +, %, or spaces can cause issues with URL encoding.
  • Rename the file to something simple like invoice.pdf and re-upload.

Clear and Reconfigure Context Grounding

  • Remove the current grounding config.
  • Restart Autopilot.
  • Re-add the index only after verifying the file format and size.
