Petal for Web

Product snapshot

Petal is a cloud-based AI service for exploring and working with documents. It uses generative, context-aware models so you can query files conversationally and surface trustworthy information from your stored sources.

Smart document interactions

• Create concise summaries, translate text, and draft new content directly inside an integrated Notebook.
• Ask questions of a document in natural language and receive answers grounded in the file’s content.
• Use AI-driven extraction to pull reliable facts and key points from trusted documents.
• Rely on recent model improvements that enhance understanding and response quality.

Comparison and analysis tools

• Compare multiple files side-by-side using a conversational “AI table” that applies user-defined filters.
• Set criteria in plain language to narrow down documents and surface the most relevant results.

Collaboration and note management

• Share documents, inline annotations, and comments with teammates to streamline review cycles.
• Keep notes, drafts, and versions together in the Notebook so individual and group work stays coordinated.

Storage, indexing, and cleanup

• Store materials in a centralized cloud drive that serves as a single source of truth for your organization.
• Benefit from automatic metadata extraction and duplicate-file detection to simplify organization.
• Perform fast searches across your repository with improved indexing and retrieval capabilities.

Suggested alternative

• Exporeader (paid) — a recommended substitute if you need a different commercial option for document reading and analysis.

Who gains the most

Petal is well suited for corporate R&D groups, academic researchers, and professionals across industries who need to rapidly understand complex materials, maintain a clean document store, and collaborate on insights.
