How to Chat with a PDF: Get a Summary, Key Points and Answers with AI

A 40-page report, a rental agreement, a policy document or a study chapter. You need the main points, but reading everything takes an hour. Searching for a single word does not always help, because you do not know which word to look for.

With AI Chat, you add the PDF and simply ask questions, like talking to someone who has read the whole file.

What can you do with AI Chat?

Tap a quick action, or type your own question:

• Summary: a short version of the whole document
• Key Points: the most important things in a list
• Risky Clauses: parts of an agreement that need extra care
• Tables: the tables in the document, made easy to read
• Translate to Hindi / Translate to English: read the document in another language
• Audio Summary: a summary you can listen to

When is it useful?

• Understanding an agreement or contract before you sign
• Getting the main points of a long report before a meeting
• Revising a study chapter quickly
• Reading a document that is in another language
• Finding one answer, such as a date or an amount, without scrolling

How to chat with a PDF step by step

1. Open the AI Chat tool. Use the button at the top of this page to open Pdfyra Workspace.
2. Add your PDF. Tap Select PDF, or drop the file in. You can also pick it from Google Drive or Dropbox.
3. Tap a quick action or ask a question. Try Summary first, or type your question in the Ask a question box and tap Send.
4. Keep asking. Ask follow-up questions in the same chat.
5. Switch files if needed. Tap Change PDF to work with another document.

Tips for better answers

Ask clear, specific questions. "What is the notice period?" works better than "Tell me about this."

Check important details yourself. AI can make mistakes. For money, dates and legal points, confirm in the original file.

Do not rely on it alone for legal decisions. Use Risky Clauses as a guide, then read those parts, or ask a professional.
