a link or DOIA paper, an article, any web page. An arXiv or journal page reads the paper's PDF; a DOI finds an open copy
a YouTube videoIts transcript, timed to the video: captions when it has them, otherwise transcribed
record a lectureRecorded in the browser, then transcribed with who spoke when, so every answer can play the moment it cites
email this spaceMail forwarded to the space's own address: attachments, and the email itself when it says enough (how)

What happens to a file

Where a file goes: an upload, link, YouTube video, recording, email or connector item is read by kind (a PDF directly, a scan with OCR, Word, slides, web pages and email through Gotenberg to PDF, recordings with ElevenLabs Scribe), split into passages with Nemotron Embed vectors, full text and a Lightning summary, published to Zetaris with its own reading of the PDF, and marked Ready only when Zetaris's counts match.
A file is Ready only once Zetaris holds every passage of it.

You can watch each stage in the library: Reading page n of N, Converting to PDF, Transcribing, Indexing N passages, Checking into Zetaris. Scanned pages are read with OCR and marked Text from scan.
