  ```python Python theme={null}
  import os
  from datagrid_ai import Datagrid

  client = Datagrid(api_key=os.environ.get("DATAGRID_API_KEY"))

  # Step 1: Upload a file
  with open("report.pdf", "rb") as file:
      uploaded_file = client.files.create(file=file)

  # Step 2: Include the file in a conversation
  response = client.converse(
      prompt=[
          {
              "role": "user",
