Hello 
I started exploring using Airtable native AI fields; I would like LLM to read and process an attachment document
in PDF but the relevant field {Attachment} seems not to be available in the prompt design. 
Is it possible in some ways or do I need to resort to using OpenAI APIs and scripting? 

Regards and Thanks !

Thanks for your reply, 
I am afraid it seems so. 
Do you think it would be possible to do it via scripting, any idea
how this could be done? 
Thanks

Hello , 
FYI I just checked again and I can now make AI read attachment documents. 
The feature is a little clunky but it basically started working

Thanks

Yeah, this doesn't seem to be possible at this point.  I couldn't find anything in the docs that explicitly stated which fields could be used, they did say that clicking the + would show everything available, and attachment fields don't show up
