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 sidebar and browser agent for reading, writing and research
A persistent panel that reads the page you are on and answers follow-ups with GPT, Claude or Gemini without copying content into another tab.
Summarise long articles, PDFs and YouTube videos, extract key points, and ask detailed questions about the source material.
Translate webpages, PDFs and images, compare bilingual output side by side, and have content read aloud for review on the move.
Delegate multi-step tasks across real websites — price comparison, form filling, research and inbox triage — using your existing logged-in sessions.
