Context

Adding Context

You can add context as simple text snippets or supported file uploads.

Text Snippets#

Text snippets are best for focused, specific context.

To add a text snippet:

  1. Click Add text in the Context tab.
  2. Enter a descriptive title.
  3. Add the content.
  4. Click Save.

The title helps you manage your sources. The content is what the AI uses during interviews.

Best for:

  • Pricing tiers and plan details
  • Feature descriptions
  • Company policies
  • Product positioning
  • Competitive differentiators
  • Known issues or limitations

File Uploads#

Files are useful when you already have documentation written.

To upload a file:

  1. Click Upload file in the Context tab.
  2. Select a PDF or DOCX file.
  3. Diaform extracts text from the file.
  4. The extracted text is added to your project context.

Supported formats:

  • PDF: Product docs, reports, guides, or presentations with selectable text
  • DOCX: Word documents, specifications, and guides

Maximum file size: 20MB.

For PDF uploads, the content needs to be selectable text. Scanned image-only PDFs may not extract useful context.

Editing and Updating#

Text snippets can be edited after creation.

Files cannot be edited in place. To update file content, delete the old item and upload the new version.

Deleting Items#

To remove context:

  1. Click the delete icon next to the item.
  2. Confirm the deletion.

Deleting an item frees up its tokens immediately.

Best Practices#

Use descriptive titles: "Enterprise Security Features" is better than "Security Stuff".

Keep entries focused: One topic per item makes context easier to maintain.

Update when things change: Remove outdated pricing, policies, or feature descriptions.

Start small: Add essential context first, then expand based on test interviews.

Review token usage: Token counts are shown in the Context tab so you can see which items use the most capacity.
