Single file attachment in an assistant reply
For AI Agents
Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.
Best for: A full width report card under a reply paragraph, with type and size and a secondary download button
When to use
- Files carried by a chat turn, as chips in a composer tray or cards in an assistant reply
- Upload queues and pickers where each file reads as idle, uploading, processing, failed or done
- Rows of image thumbnails or file chips that scroll sideways on one line instead of wrapping
When not to use
- Files the user still has to pick from their own device: use the Attachment File Picker example
- A file still in flight or failed that needs a retry or cancel: use the Attachment Upload Queue example
- A drop zone that takes files dragged in from the desktop: use the File Upload component
- A colored format badge that labels a document by its extension, such as PDF: use the File Type component
- An upload list where each row needs a bar filling toward 100 percent: use the Progress component
