Hey !
This is my workflow. I’m not sure if read/write files from disk is a good node for this task. I want that my agent has knowledge about my experienced past so i give it to him some pdf with that.

Hi @Fanny_Marello Welcome!
Consider creating a google Drive folder and there add your files so that your workflow can always get those files for injecting them into your vector database, and also i would recommend adding a trigger so that if there is a new file added to your folder that would automatically get injected into the vector database.
I have built something like this using the Google Drive it is far better. (And safer from errors)

Especially the AI agent guide around 40:00, because it may help you decide whether reading PDF files from disk is the right approach for your use case.
