PDF Q&A

Q&A on PDF content with AI

Ask specific questions about a PDF document and get contextual answers readable from the file, along with a reminder to double-check the source.

When should you use it?

  • Find a clause or fact: Ask about specific content in a contract, report, or guide.
  • Explain terminology: Ask for a concept to be explained in the context of the document.
  • Check your understanding: Ask follow-up questions to clarify the relationship between sections.

How to get more useful results

Clearly state your goal, the scope of the content, the intended audience, and the desired format. Ask follow-up questions to clarify, but always return to the source PDF to check proper names, figures, conditions, and conclusions.

Limitations of AI

Answers depend on the content the AI can read. Blurry scanned PDFs, complex tables, diagrams, or content lacking context may lead to incomplete or incorrect answers.

AI data and session history

The browser may store the file, task settings, and recent chat history on your device to restore the session; you can clear the session in the interface or clear the website data in your browser settings.
