What can you do with PDF Expert + AI Chat?

Generate Summary
Navigate long, complex PDFs at speed by generating a concise and accurate summary based on the most important information in the document using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms. Once summarized the AI Chat feature will also provide clickable page references used for generating the answer.
List main points
Improve your understanding of the document, save time, and simplify how you conduct time-consuming research by quickly analyzing the contents of the document and highlighting key points without having to read the whole PDF.
Generate keywords
Highlight key information and provide a sense of the main topics covered in the document by analyzing the PDF for keywords based on frequency and relevance.
Generate hashtags
Analyse your documents for hashtags which can provide you with an efficient way to label your content making it much easier to retrieve or categorize your PDFs.
Ask Anything
Ask any question you want, and our AI Chat feature will respond with an answer, which you can then copy, regenerate, or share. Please note that the AI Chat can only answer questions if the information is located within the open PDF document.
