How it works
Drag a file into your library. It's ready in seconds, and you'll see its status right next to the name.
Type your question in any language. Follow up, dig deeper, or ask it to explain things more simply.
Every answer comes with page numbers. Click one and your PDF opens right where the answer is.
Features
Made for the moment you need an answer, and the proof behind it.
Each answer names the pages it came from. One click opens the PDF at that exact spot.
On Plus and Pro, chat with multiple PDFs at once: ask one question across the PDFs in a folder to compare what each says or find which files discuss a topic. Answers cite the document and page.
Folders, search and recent files, so the right document is always one click away.
Ask in Italian about an English report, or the other way round.
Your documents are private to your account. Their text is processed by our AI providers only to answer your questions, and you can delete any document, or your whole account, at any time.
Get a quick summary of any PDF, then save the conversation as a PDF to share or keep.
On Plus and Pro, pages that are only a picture, like a scan or a photo of a document, are read when you upload, so you can ask about them and get page citations.
Send a read-only link to a document's chat, with its questions, answers and page references. Your PDF itself is not part of the link, and you can stop sharing at any time.
Your usage sits in the sidebar, so you always know what's left. No surprises halfway through an upload.
