Send a file, photo or voice message to the Mentor

You can hand the Mentor a document, a photo or your voice instead of typing. It reads the file and answers your question about it in the same chat.

Send a file or a photo

1. In a Mentor chat, tap + next to the message field.
2. Choose Camera to take a photo, Gallery to pick one, or Attach a file.
3. Type your question, for example “What does this deck mean for this week’s goals?”, and send.

Which files the Mentor can read

If a file is a type the Mentor cannot read, or is too large, it tells you in the chat. Send a smaller file, or only the part you need. A scanned PDF that holds only pictures of pages may not be readable; a photo of the page works better.

Send a voice message

1. Press and hold the microphone next to the message field.
2. Speak.
3. Let go. Your words are transcribed into a message.

To cancel while you are still holding, slide your finger to the left.

When the camera, microphone or a message fails

If the camera or the microphone is blocked for FocusPilot, the app says so and offers Open Settings, where you can allow it.

If a message does not go through, the chat shows Retry under it. Nothing from the failed message is kept, so a second try does not send it twice.
