Chat with PDFs, books, websites, YouTube videos and podcasts
Upload PDFs, EPUB books, text files or paste a web article link, YouTube video or podcast episode and chat with the content in one interface.
Responses are backed by the passages they were drawn from, so you can check the source text instead of taking an answer on faith.
Large documents are summarised with their whole context in mind, which matters for ebooks and lengthy reports.
The system supports many languages and replies in the language of your question.
Chat with any PDF, video, or website and get cited answers in seconds
Every response is anchored to your source document with clickable citations that scroll to the exact passage, so verification takes seconds instead of page-by-page searching.
Organize documents into folders and query many files in a single conversation to compare arguments, cross-reference findings, or study a whole syllabus at once.
Condense long papers, reports, and contracts into key takeaways, and translate or query documents in any language — including mixing a source language with a different question language.
Generate flashcards and slide decks from your material, and use the built-in AI writer and AI detector for drafting and checking academic text.

Your AI knowledge base that remembers everything you save
