What aiPDF is

A reading assistant that works from sources. Upload a document or paste a link, then ask questions about it, with answers tied back to the passages they came from.

It is not a general chatbot. The focus is material-based answers, and it accepts PDFs, web articles, YouTube videos and podcasts.

What you can do with it

  • Get through long reports, papers, e-books and course material by asking instead of reading linearly
  • Pull key points out of an article or a video
  • Follow up with narrower questions on the same source
  • Jump back to the original passage when a claim matters

Who it is for

  • Students, researchers, analysts, editors and consultants
  • Anyone handling a lot of reading who needs to find things in it

What to watch out for

  • It accelerates reading rather than replacing it; check contracts, financial conclusions and academic arguments against the original
  • A summary can drop the qualifier that changes the meaning
  • Uploading means handing material to a third party, so keep confidential documents away
  • Confirm current plan limits on the official site

FAQ

Is it limited to PDFs?

No. Web articles, YouTube videos and podcasts are supported alongside documents.

Can it replace reading the document?

No. It speeds up reading and helps locate information, but key conclusions should be confirmed in the original.
