How AI Handles Storage

When you say “add profile pictures”, the AI:
  1. Calls list-buckets to check existing
  2. Creates bucket if needed with create-bucket
  3. Sets appropriate access (public for images)
  4. Implements upload form with FormData
  5. Stores URLs in database

​
AI Understanding

The AI knows:
  • Public buckets for images, private for documents
  • FormData required for file uploads
  • Automatic file renaming prevents overwrites
  • URLs follow predictable pattern
  • How to handle upload errors
