# Projects

Use Projects to organize conversations, ground answers in your data, and work on specific topics. Each Project acts as a container with its own files, chat history, and model set.Add the name that will be used for the project

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a project

Click "Create project" button below "Project name" input or create icon on the top right side of the menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add files

Attach files to your project to provide source material that will be indexed and used in your chats. \
nexos uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to pull relevant context from your files when responding.

* **Supported file types**: csv, xls, xlsx, json, docx, doc, pptx, ppt, txt, xml, tiff,  pdf
* **File size limits**: Up to 30MB per file
* **Vectorization**: Files are chunked, embedded, and stored securely in your project’s context index

{% hint style="info" %}
Only use trusted models when working with sensitive or proprietary content. While files stay scoped to your project, responses depend on the model’s ability to handle data securely.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Model selection & chat

You have full control over which model powers your conversation.

* Select from available LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.)
* Use the **“Model Settings”** dropdown inside each chat
* Switch models anytime to compare outputs or adjust cost-performance tradeoffs

#### Begin your conversation

Enter your prompt in the chat interface. Use files (click "+ Add file") to enhance results with current information. Upload images (click + sign) to include additional context in your conversation anytime. See example below: 

<figure><img src="/files/0cFvtgHUMiwHpfjBai8K" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### &#x20;Sharing

Projects can be shared with teams or users.

* **View access** – others can see and use the Project without changes
* **Edit access** – collaborators can update files, settings, and structure

This makes Projects a shared workspace, so everyone works from the same context.
