File upload in Genie One and Genie Agents
GALets users upload files to a Genie One conversation or a Genie Agent and analyze them in natural language alongside Unity Catalog data: CSV, Excel, PDF (up to 100 pages), image, Word and PowerPoint files in Genie One, up to 100 per conversation, and CSV, Excel and PDF files in a Genie Agent, up to 25 per conversation, with uploaded files private to the conversation. Uploads began as a gated Public Preview of CSV and Excel uploads to Genie spaces in February 2025, Genie One added file types through previews in 2026, and the capability has been generally available since October 16, 2026, so admins no longer need to turn on a preview; users with only consumer access cannot upload files in Genie One.

Hand-written: a gated Public Preview of CSV and Excel uploads to Genie spaces, enabled by the account team, recorded as public_preview the way lakeflow-connect records its 2024 gated public preview. The matcher never parses gated statements.
