Petal

What Petal is

A reading platform for technical and research material. Documents go into a knowledge base, and questions come back with the source they came from, plus summarising, translation and side-by-side comparison.

It suits work where the citation matters as much as the answer.

What you can do with it

• Ask questions grounded in uploaded documents
• Get summaries and translations
• Compare multiple documents in a table
• Filter comparisons in natural language
• Share documents with annotations
• Draft notes in a built-in notebook

Who it is for

• Researchers and academics
• Corporate R&D teams
• Industry specialists
• Students handling technical material

What to watch out for

• Answers must be traced to the original text, especially citations, figures and legal or technical conclusions
• Confirm permissions and data policy before uploading sensitive files
• Copyright applies to material you upload and share
• Comparison tables are only as reliable as the source documents
