Chat with your PDF, privately

Ask questions in natural language about any PDF and get cited answers. The text is extracted in your browser, and only the relevant snippets are sent to Anthropic, a third-party AI provider, to write the answer.

Sends document text to Anthropic (third party), deleted within 30 days

How this stays private

  • Your PDF is read in your browser using pdf.js. The file itself never uploads.
  • Per question, only the most relevant text excerpts (up to 32 KB) and your question are sent over HTTPS to Anthropic, a third-party AI provider. Never the file.
  • Anthropic automatically deletes API inputs and outputs within 30 days, and by default does not use them to train its models.
  • Open DevTools → Network and watch, only `/api/ai/chat` calls go out, with text payloads only.

How to chat with pdf

Three steps. Start to finish in under a minute.

1

Drop a PDF

Text is extracted in your browser. The file itself never leaves your device.

2

Ask in plain English

Type your question. We rank pages by overlap with it and send only the most relevant snippets (up to 32 KB) over HTTPS to Anthropic, a third-party AI provider, never the whole document.

3

Get cited answers

Every answer cites the page numbers it drew from, so you can verify. Anthropic deletes the snippets within 30 days and does not use them for training by default.

Only snippets leave, not the file

The PDF stays in your browser. Just the relevant text goes to Anthropic (a third party) over HTTPS, is deleted within 30 days, and is not used for training by default.

Clearly not a browser-only tool

Unlike most of our tools, this one sends your document's text off your device to a third party. We say so plainly.
