The Brief

What AskYourPDF Research does

AskYourPDF is an AI platform for asking questions of PDFs and other documents and getting cited answers. Its features include document chat across several files, summaries, exact quote extraction, a document library, shareable conversations, and custom AI assistants. An AI form filler completes fillable and non-fillable PDF forms from another document or pasted text. A website agent trained on a site's content can be embedded with one line of code and can create support tickets when it cannot answer. The service runs on the web and on mobile, and it includes a Chrome extension and Zotero and ChatGPT plugins. It is aimed at businesses, researchers, and other professionals who read long documents. The site says it starts free and links to a pricing page without stating prices.
