# Ask questions about a spreadsheet, with follow-ups

Upload a small CSV and ask about it in plain words, then keep asking follow-up questions in the same conversation. The model copies the uploaded table into the conversation, so check its first answer against your file; follow-up questions can refer to the table until it falls outside the roughly 50 most recent exchanges. It suits small files: the model reads the rows and does the arithmetic itself, so check totals that matter.
