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:
- Click Add text in the Context tab.
- Enter a descriptive title.
- Add the content.
- 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:
- Click Upload file in the Context tab.
- Select a PDF or DOCX file.
- Diaform extracts text from the file.
- 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:
- Click the delete icon next to the item.
- 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Update when things change: Remove outdated pricing, policies, or feature descriptions.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.
