File Analyzer

Ask questions about a contract, a report or a spreadsheet export and get answers that come from the file itself.

Sign in or create a free account, the tool opens in your workspace.

Long documents hide the one answer you need on page 34. The File Analyzer lets you chat with PDF, Word and CSV files: upload the file, ask a question in plain words and get an answer drawn from its content.

The tool answers only from the file. When a fact, a figure or a clause appears in the answer, it says where it comes from (page, section, heading or row) whenever the file gives that information. When the wording matters, as with contract terms or definitions, it quotes the passage exactly. When the answer is not in the file, it says so plainly instead of filling the gap from general knowledge.

CSV files get extra care. The tool describes the columns before calculating, shows how it reached a total or an average and flags missing or inconsistent values. The File Analyzer belongs to the Blog and articles family, next to the Image Analyzer and Web Page Chat.

What you get

  • Answers based only on the content of the file you upload
  • A reference to the page, section, heading or row behind each fact when the file provides it
  • Exact quotes for clauses, definitions and other passages where wording matters
  • Summaries of a whole document or of one section, at the length you ask for
  • For CSV files, a description of the columns and the steps behind every calculation

What you fill in

Message required

Ask your question about the file, or ask for a summary of a specific part.

File required

Attach a PDF, DOC, DOCX or CSV file with the upload button. Text-based PDFs work best, because a scan without selectable text may not be read.

How to use it, step by step

  1. Start a chat and upload the file

    Open the File Analyzer, attach a PDF, DOC, DOCX or CSV file and wait for it to load. One file per chat keeps the answers focused.

  2. Ask a precise question

    "What does section 7 say about late payments?" gets a better answer than "tell me about payments". For a summary, say how long it should be and who will read it.

  3. Check the reference

    Open the file at the page or section the answer points to and read the passage yourself, especially before you act on a clause or a figure.

  4. Go deeper in the same chat

    Ask for a table of the deadlines, a list of obligations for each party or the total of a column.

Example, input and output

Question about a service agreement

Input

Message
What is the notice period for terminating this contract, and are there any penalties?
File
service-agreement.pdf

Output

The notice period is 60 days. Section 12.2 (page 9) says: "Either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party at least sixty (60) days' written notice."

On penalties, section 12.4 states that fees for the current billing period are not refunded after termination. The document does not mention any other penalty for early termination.

This is a summary of what the document says, not legal advice. For a decision on terminating the contract, check with a qualified professional.

Illustrative example.

Tips for better results

  • Name the section or page if you know it. It narrows the search and makes the answer easier to check.
  • With CSV exports, ask the tool to describe the columns first, then ask for the totals you need.
  • Use a text-based PDF rather than a photo of a page. If you only have a photo, the Image Analyzer is the better fit.

Who uses it, and for what

Small business owners reading contracts

Find the renewal date, the notice period and the payment terms of a supplier contract, with the clause quoted.

Analysts with a CSV export

Upload an export from a shop or a CRM, ask for totals by month or by product and see how each figure was calculated.

Students and researchers

Get a section-by-section summary of a long paper, then ask about the method or the results in detail.

Teams onboarding new staff

Let a new colleague ask questions about a procedure manual and get answers that point to the right page.

Limits and good practice

  • Accepted formats are PDF, DOC, DOCX and CSV. Spreadsheets in other formats need to be exported as CSV first.
  • The tool explains what a document says. It does not give legal, tax, medical or financial advice.
  • Very large files can be cut to fit the model's context, so ask about specific sections of long documents.

Frequently asked questions

Which file types can I upload?

PDF, DOC, DOCX and CSV. Text-based PDFs give the best results, because the tool reads the text layer. For a photographed page, use the Image Analyzer. For Excel files, export the sheet you need as CSV first and upload that.

Will the answers include information that is not in the file?

No. The tool is instructed to answer only from the content of the file. If the answer is not there, it says so and, when useful, tells you what the file does say about the topic.

Can I see where an answer comes from?

Yes, whenever the file provides that information. Facts, figures and clauses come with the page, section, heading or row they were taken from, and important passages are quoted exactly so you can find and read them in the original.

Can it calculate totals from a CSV file?

Yes. It first describes the columns, then shows how it reached each total or average and points out missing or inconsistent values. For figures that go into accounts or a report, repeat the calculation in your spreadsheet.

Can I use it to review a contract?

You can use it to find and understand what a contract says, such as deadlines, obligations and termination terms. It does not replace a lawyer. For any decision with legal or financial consequences, check the document with a qualified professional.
