When you attach a document, Nito extracts its text so the model can read it. The document becomes text before the model sees it, so this works with any model you pick.

Attaching a Document

Add a document to your prompt with the --file flag, then ask your question. The flag is repeatable, so you can attach several documents in one prompt.
You can also attach documents from your terminal with nito ask --file .... See Ask and fusion from the terminal.

Supported Document Kinds

Nito reads text and common office documents:
  • PDF
  • DOCX
  • PPTX
  • XLSX
  • XLS
  • Plain text
Images are not documents. A picture goes to a vision-capable model instead of the parser, so send it down the image path described in Image input.

Works With Any Model

Because the document is parsed into text before the model runs, every model can read what you attach. You do not have to choose a special document model. Pick whatever model fits the task (see Choosing a model), and the extracted text rides along in context.

Worked Example

Attach a document and ask a pointed question. Here we pull specific fields out of a small report using the default model:
Nito extracts the report’s text and the model answers from it, returning the top region and the Q3 risk straight out of the document. The same flow works for summarizing a PDF, listing the deadlines in a contract, or reading a spreadsheet.
