# Chat attachments

> Attach images to your messages so Zylon can see and reason about visual content.

Attach image files directly in your chat messages. When a file is attached, Zylon can analyze its content, and use it as context when responding.

<Warning>
  Ask your IT administrator to enable the Multimodal capabilities in your system configuration [with the Operator Manual](/en/operator-manual/configuration/features).
</Warning>
