Chat with PDF — Q&A over research papers
provisionalverified yesterdayUsers upload or open a research paper (PDF) and ask questions about it in plain English; the AI answers using the document's content, generates TL;DR-style summaries, explains unfamiliar concepts, and pulls out key arguments and findings.
