[Hindsight Cloud](https://ui.hindsight.vectorize.io/signup) now lets you upload files directly to any memory bank. PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, images, and plain text files are all supported.

|
||||
## Two Extraction Methods
|
||||
|
||||
When you upload a file, you choose how Hindsight processes it:
|
||||
|
||||
**Standard extraction** uses [Markitdown](https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown) to pull text from your document. It is free and works well for text-heavy files like PDFs, Word docs, and plain text.
|
||||
|
||||
**Enhanced extraction (Iris)** uses AI-powered processing to understand the structure and meaning of your document. This is useful for complex layouts, scanned documents, and images. Enhanced extraction incurs per-token charges.
|
||||
|
||||
Both methods extract the content and store it as structured memories in your bank, ready for recall and reflect queries.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open any memory bank in [Hindsight Cloud](https://ui.hindsight.vectorize.io/signup)
|
||||
2. Click the upload button and select your files
|
||||
3. Choose Standard or Enhanced (Iris) extraction
|
||||
4. The Document Operations panel tracks progress with status indicators
|
||||
|
||||
Once processing completes, the extracted content becomes part of your memory bank. Your agents can recall and reflect on the document contents just like any other memory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported File Types
|
||||
|
||||
- **PDFs** -- reports, whitepapers, research papers
|
||||
- **Word documents** (.docx) -- meeting notes, specs, proposals
|
||||
- **PowerPoint presentations** (.pptx) -- slide decks, training materials
|
||||
- **Excel spreadsheets** (.xlsx) -- data tables, financial reports
|
||||
- **Images** (.png, .jpg) -- screenshots, diagrams (Enhanced extraction recommended)
|
||||
- **Plain text** (.txt, .md) -- logs, notes, documentation
|
||||
|
||||
## What Else Is New
|
||||
|
||||
This update also follows two other recent additions:
|
||||
|
||||
**Bank-scoped API keys** (March 3) let you restrict API keys to specific memory banks. This is useful for multi-tenant setups where each customer or agent should only access its own memories. Unauthorized access attempts return a 403 error.
|
||||
|
||||
**MCP support** (February 13) added [Model Context Protocol integration](/blog/2026/03/04/mcp-agent-memory) for AI clients like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code. You can connect in single-bank mode for a dedicated agent memory or multi-bank mode for cross-bank operations, with 30 tools available out of the box.
|
||||
|
||||
## Get Started
|
||||
|
||||
File upload is available now in [Hindsight Cloud](https://ui.hindsight.vectorize.io/signup). Upload your first document and try a recall query against it to see the results.
