AI Document Chat
Ask questions about your research papers
Upload your PDFs and ask questions in plain English. Alfred finds the relevant passages across your entire library and responds with inline citations pointing to exact page numbers. No more skimming through dozens of papers to find what you need.
How AI document chat works
Three steps from uploading your papers to getting cited answers.
Upload your papers
Drop your PDF files into Alfred. We automatically extract the text, figures, tables, and references from every page.
Ask a question
Type your question in natural language. Alfred searches across all your uploaded documents using semantic and full-text hybrid search to find the most relevant passages.
Get cited answers
Alfred responds with a clear answer and inline citations pointing to the exact page numbers where the information was found. Every claim is traceable.
Built for serious research
Hybrid search across your library
Alfred combines semantic understanding with full-text keyword matching to find relevant passages. It does not just match keywords; it understands the meaning of your question and finds conceptually related content.
Inline page citations
Every AI response includes citations in the format [p.12] pointing to the exact page where the information was found. Click a citation to jump directly to that page in the PDF viewer.
Cross-document answers
Ask a question that spans multiple papers and Alfred synthesizes information across your entire document library. Compare methodologies, findings, or theoretical frameworks across different studies.
Conversation memory
Alfred remembers previous questions in your conversation, so you can ask follow-up questions naturally. Build on previous answers without repeating context.
