Hello Vapi Team, I have a question about using the knowledge base for my vapi assistant. I want to use the files instead of Trieve, is there a way for me to just use the files instead because trieve just doesn’t work as seamlessly as the files do when the agent goes to get the information I’ve provided.

Yes, you can use your own uploaded files instead of Trieve in Vapi by attaching them directly to your assistant via the dashboard or API, allowing the AI to reference them for accurate responses without relying on Trieve.

I have documents uploaded in the files but when I test the assistant and ask it questions it doesn't use the files/documents uploaded. I even went ahead and prompted it to do so but it still didn't work. I can provide screen shots to show how the set up looks if that helps.

Provide screenshots. Also, have you published your assistant since adding to the prompt and adding the files to your KB?
