Use Cases

File management made conversational

See how businesses use AI agents with Uploadcare to handle document requests, image corrections, and file storage directly in customer interactions.

Customer Document Retrieval in One Message

A customer asks for the PDF receipt they uploaded last week. Your AI Agent searches Uploadcare by file metadata, finds the matching document, generates a secure temporary download URL, and shares it directly in the chat. The customer downloads their file immediately without submitting a support ticket or waiting for human assistance.

Real-Time Image Correction for Submissions

A user uploads an ID photo that is rotated 90 degrees. Your AI Agent detects the issue, applies a rotation transformation through Uploadcare's CDN, and returns the corrected image preview. The user confirms the fix and the corrected version is stored permanently, all within the same conversation.

Bulk File Audit for Content Teams

A content manager needs to review all images uploaded this month. Your AI Agent queries Uploadcare's file list with date filters, returns a summary of uploads including file types and sizes, and identifies any files still in temporary storage that need to be permanently saved. The team gets a complete inventory without manual dashboard browsing.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent access files stored in Uploadcare?

The agent uses Uploadcare's REST API with HMAC-signed authentication to retrieve file information by UUID. When a customer references a file, the agent looks it up and returns metadata, preview URLs, or download links depending on the request.

Can the agent process images without modifying the originals?

Yes. Uploadcare's CDN operations create transformed versions via URL parameters, leaving original files untouched. The agent applies rotations, mirrors, and other transformations that generate new CDN URLs while preserving the original upload.

What authentication does the Uploadcare integration require?

You provide a Public API Key (project identifier) and a Secret API Key (for HMAC signature generation). Both are found in your Uploadcare project settings. The secret key never leaves the Tars server, ensuring secure API communication.

How long do temporary files stay available in Uploadcare?

Uploadcare auto-deletes unstored files after 24 hours. The agent can mark files as permanently stored during the conversation to prevent expiration. You control which files get permanent storage through agent rules or manual confirmation.

Does Tars store copies of Uploadcare files?

No. Tars queries Uploadcare's API in real time and retrieves URLs, metadata, and file references. All actual file data remains on Uploadcare's CDN infrastructure. Tars does not download or cache your files.

Can the agent handle webhook notifications from Uploadcare?

Yes. The agent can create, list, and delete webhooks in your Uploadcare project. This lets you set up event-driven workflows where file uploads or deletions trigger actions in your system automatically.

What image formats does the CDN processing support?

Uploadcare's CDN handles JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, and more. The agent's rotation and mirror operations work on all raster image formats. Uploadcare also automatically serves next-gen formats like WebP for optimized delivery.

How is this different from using Uploadcare's file uploader widget?

The widget handles browser-based uploads on web pages. With Tars, your AI agent manages files conversationally across any channel, including WhatsApp and SMS, where traditional upload widgets cannot run. Post-upload operations like retrieval and transformation also happen in the conversation.
