Description
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem?
When using PostHog AI, it's only possible to communicate with text. This means I can't share a screenshot of what I'm seeing in PostHog (or anywhere else) as context for my question.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow uploading images (e.g. screenshots) into the PostHog AI chat input, so they can be sent as part of a message and used as context for the model's response.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Pasting a URL or describing the screenshot in words, but this loses a lot of the detail that an image would convey directly.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the PostHog AI chat input and the message path it uses, then determine how image context should be represented and handled. Done means users can add an image to a chat message and receive a response using it as context, with appropriate coverage for the new flow.
