5.2 Additional GenAI Requirements

To use the GenAI feature of MySQL AI, you must place the files that you want to ingest into the vector store in the local directory that you specified in the Vector Store tab in the MySQL AI installer. By default, this directory is set to /var/lib/mysql-files.

Vector store can ingest files in the following formats: PPTX, PPT, TXT, HTML, DOCX, DOC, and PDF. Each file can be up to 100 MB in size.
