anything-llm/collector/hotdir/__HOTDIR__.md

What is the "Hot directory"

This is the location where you can dump all supported file types and have them automatically converted and prepared to be digested by the vectorizing service and selected from the AnythingLLM frontend.

Files dropped in here will only be processed when you are running python watch.py from the collector directory.

Once converted the original file will be moved to the hotdir/processed folder so that the original document is still able to be linked to when referenced when attached as a source document during chatting.

Supported File types

• .md
• .txt
• .pdf

requires more development

• .png .jpg etc
• .mp3
• .mp4
