Why Chat with Your PDF? The AI Advantage

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How does the AI know the answers?
A: The AI reads and understands the entire text of your uploaded PDF. When you ask a question, it uses its language comprehension abilities to locate the most relevant information within that text and formulate a coherent answer. It does not access external information; its knowledge is limited to the document you provide.
Q: Is this secure for confidential documents?
A: Yes. We take privacy very seriously. Your document is encrypted during transit and is only stored on our servers for the duration of your session (and deleted one hour after). The content is not monitored or used for any other purpose.
Q: Can it work with scanned PDFs?
A: The quality of the chat depends on the quality of the text. If the PDF is a scan, the text must be selectable (meaning it has an OCR layer). If the text is just a flat image, the AI won't be able to read it. You can use our PDF to Word converter to create a text-based version first.
