How to chat with your PDFs and check every answer

Long PDFs hide the one fact you need on page 40. Searching for a keyword only works if you already know the exact word the author used. Asking a question works even when you don't.

How it works

Add a PDF to a space. We pull out the text, including from scanned pages, and index it. When you ask a question, the answer is built from the parts of your documents that match it, with a numbered citation like [1] for each source used. Select a citation to open the source behind the claim.

Five habits for better answers

Ask one thing at a time. "What is the notice period?" beats "Summarise the contract and list the risks and the dates."
Use the document's own terms when you know them. If the contract says "Term", ask about the Term, not the "length of the deal".
Name the document when you have several. "In the 2025 handbook, how many leave days are there?" points the answer at the right source.
Ask for a format. "As a table of dates and owners" or "in three bullet points" gives you something you can paste straight into a report.
Follow up instead of starting over. The chat remembers the conversation, so "And for part-time staff?" works.

Always check the citation

AI can misread a table or blend two clauses. The citation is how you catch that in seconds. If an answer has no citation, the space didn't contain it, and the answer should say so. Treat anything labelled as general knowledge as a starting point, not a fact from your document.

Good fits

Contracts, policies and handbooks
Research papers and reports
Product manuals and specifications
Scanned letters and forms

Files can be up to 25 MB each. For a very large document, split it into parts so each upload stays under the limit.
