Filechat is the perfect tool to explore documents using artificial intelligence. Simply upload your PDF and start asking questions to your personalized chatbot. Upload research papers, books, newspapers, study guides, manuals, and more! Direct citations are pulled from the document to support the chatbot's answer. Filechat works by turning your documents into what are called "word embeddings". These embeddings allow you to search by semantic meaning instead of by the exact language. This is incredibly useful when trying to understand unstructed text information, such as textbooks, documentation, and others.
