Private PDF Chat
Ask questions about a PDF and find answers from the document. Search stays extractive unless you opt in to a configured AI endpoint.
No AI endpoint is configured. Answers are extractive matches from the PDF text.
The PDF is read for this session so answers can cite pages. It is not saved after you leave or remove it. Document text is not written to application logs.
What is Private PDF Chat?
Upload a PDF, then ask questions such as termination conditions, dates, payments, or a section summary. Matches include page numbers so you can jump to the source.
How to use it
- Upload a PDF (up to 8 MB).
- Ask a question. Try “List all dates mentioned.” or “What payments are mentioned?”
- Open a page chip to read that page’s extracted text.
- Choose Remove document to clear the file, questions, and answers from this session.
FAQ
Does this send my PDF to an AI service?
Not by default. Local answers are extractive. If an AI endpoint is configured, you must opt in before excerpts are sent.
Are page citations invented?
Extractive answers only cite pages that contained a match. When AI is used, citations that are not in the excerpts you sent are dropped.
