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.
AI diagrams and technical design docs built from your code and systems
Generate architecture diagrams, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and BPMN from a text prompt, code, Terraform, or an uploaded PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Draw.io, or Visio file.
Build interactive maps that sync with cloud accounts, repositories, and internal catalogs so the picture stays close to the real environment, with drill-down from org level to a single container.
Paste code or connect private and public Git repositories, Confluence, Notion, VS Code, and GitHub to keep diagrams grounded in actual implementation.
Run the agent toolkit in your own infrastructure under an MIT license and let MCP-compatible clients create, search, update, and export diagrams with OAuth or API tokens.

#1Offers an expansive infinite canvas for team brainstorming and visual workshops, but lacks Eraser's code-to-diagram automation.
Free / Open-sourceCompletely free PDF reading and editing tool with AI assistant, though basic compared to dedicated platforms.

Free AI-powered PDF editor, converter and reader for every device

Combines full desktop PDF editing software with AI chat, but requires software installation for full features.

SpecialistAutomatically embeds visual diagrams directly inside text documents, though it lacks Eraser's specialized cloud architecture focus.
Includes robust developer APIs for custom document workflows, but free tier limits document page counts.
Provides extensive drag-and-drop shapes and templates for general diagrams, but weaker automated code-to-diagram capabilities than Eraser.
Combines team whiteboarding, documentation, and diagramming in one platform, but less tailored for automated codebase architecture.
Strong multi-format document chat and form filling capabilities, but interface can feel slightly more cluttered.
SpecialistPrivate AI that answers from your own documents, on Mac and Windows

Great for comparing multiple documents and spreadsheets side by side, but smaller overall user community.
