You've got a 100-page PDF. You need to find one specific piece of information — a date, a name, a policy detail. You could scroll through every page. Or you could just ask.
Chat with PDF is an AI-powered tool that lets you ask questions about your PDFs. It reads your document, understands the content, and gives you direct answers. It's like having a conversation with your file.
How it works
The tool uses AI to analyze your PDF and create a searchable understanding of its content. When you ask a question, it looks for the answer and provides it with a reference to the source page.
