# Sending files in a session

> Example 13: Send a file using session.send()

Creates a temp text file, sends it via send(), then asks about its contents.

```python theme={"languages":{}}
import asyncio
import tempfile
from pathlib import Path

from vectorshift.agent import Agent, AgentType, LlmInfo, MemoryConfig
from vectorshift.events import SessionEventType

async def main() -> None:
    tmp = Path(tempfile.mktemp(suffix=".txt"))
    tmp.write_text(
        "Q3 2025 Financial Summary\n"
        "=========================\n"
        "Revenue: $4.2M (up 18% YoY)\n"
        "Operating Expenses: $2.8M\n"
        "Net Profit: $1.4M\n"
        "Headcount: 47 employees\n"
        "New customers: 12\n"
        "Churn rate: 3.1%\n"
    )
    print(f"Created temp file: {tmp}\n")

    agent = Agent.new(
