Chat with documents

Ask about your document, not about the internet

An empty chat asks you to paste the context in first. Smartby reverses the order: you add the file you are working on and ask about its content. The answers come from the document, and the notes you write along the way stay next to it.

Answers from your document

Smartby answers from the content of your file rather than from the model's general knowledge, and points at the place the answer came from.

The material stays where it is

The document, the conversation, and the note wait in the same workspace. You come back to them the next day.

Notes that keep working

Ask for an expansion, a simpler version, or an outline. In the study plan, a note in your own words is evidence that you understand the topic.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your file

    A PDF, a presentation, or notes from class.

  2. 2

    Ask about a specific part

    You ask about what you do not understand, without searching every page.

  3. 3

    Save a note beside the material

    The note stays with the document it came from, and you can keep developing it.

Common questions

Which files can I add?

You can add a PDF, a presentation, or your own notes from class.

Do the answers come from my document?

Yes. Smartby answers from the content of the material you added and points at the passage it based the answer on, so you can check it.

Does the document stay after I close the conversation?

Yes. The document, the conversation, and the note wait in the same workspace, so you come back the next day without uploading the file again.

Can the answers be wrong?

Yes. AI-generated content may contain errors, so for anything important it is worth opening the passage the answer points at.
