Supported files

Mobile Sidekick currently accepts:

  • JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF images.
  • PDF files.
  • CSV files.
  • TXT files.
  • Microsoft Word files: DOC and DOCX.
  • Microsoft Excel files: XLS and XLSX.

You can attach up to five files in one prompt. Each file can be up to 20 MB.


Tell Sidekick what you need

Do not attach a file without explaining the task.

Try:

  • Summarize this document in five bullets.
  • Extract the diagnoses, medication changes, and follow-up plan.
  • Compare these two files and list the important differences.
  • Read this photo and identify anything that needs clinician review.
  • Turn this spreadsheet into a concise operational summary.

Attach a manual screenshot

Automatic capture of the active EHR page requires the desktop Chrome extension. On mobile, take a screenshot with your phone and attach it like any other image.


If a file will not attach

Check whether:

  • The file type is supported.
  • The file is 20 MB or smaller.
  • You have not already attached five files.
  • Your browser has permission to access photos or files.
  • Your internet connection is stable.

For a scanned document, make sure the text is readable and the image is not blurry.
