# memanto upload

Upload a file directly into the active agent's memory namespace. The file content is processed and embedded by Moorcheh, making it instantly searchable via `memanto recall`.

```bash theme={null}
memanto upload FILE_PATH
```

**Arguments:**

* `FILE_PATH` - Path to the file to upload (required)

**Supported Formats:**
`.pdf`, `.docx`, `.xlsx`, `.json`, `.txt`, `.csv`, `.md`

**Maximum File Size:** 5 GB

**Requirements:**

* An active agent session is required before uploading

**Examples:**

Upload a PDF report:

```bash theme={null}
memanto upload ./quarterly-report.pdf
```

Upload a CSV dataset:

```bash theme={null}
memanto upload /data/customers.csv
```

Upload a markdown knowledge base:

```bash theme={null}
memanto upload ./knowledge-base.md
```

**Output:**

```

```

**Recall Results from Uploaded Files:**

When recalling memories, file-sourced content is visually distinguished from manually stored memories:

```
Found 3 memories:

1. Q3 revenue increased 18% year-over-year  · file upload · summary
   Confidence: 0.95
   Created: 2025-03-30 10:15:00 UTC

2. Customer churn rate dropped to 4.2%  · file upload · chunk
   Confidence: 0.92
   Created: 2025-03-30 10:15:00 UTC

3. Customer prefers email communication  · memory
   Confidence: 0.98
   Created: 2025-03-26 09:00:00 UTC
```

**Notes:**

* Requires an active session (`memanto agent activate`)
* Files are processed asynchronously by Moorcheh (embeddings generated server-side)
* Uploaded content is stored in the cloud namespace, not as local memories
* Unsupported file types are rejected with a clear error message
