3 questions to ask your PDF with AI Assistant

Two men looking at a computer screen in an office with large windows and brick walls as they use an AI Assistant to ask PDF questions.

Working with PDFs just got a lot easier with artificial intelligence. You can ask your PDF questions and interact with your documents like never before.

Have you ever wished you could chat with PDF documents? Now, with new AI technology, you can. Not only can you have a conversation with a PDF to help you find and summarize information faster, but you can also ask it to help you create, edit and style more impactful content. In many ways, using AI is like talking to a knowledgeable friend. Just use the chat prompt to ask questions, and AI Assistant will follow your requests. Here are three good questions or prompts to ask your PDF to get started.

1. Can you find a specific piece of information?

Don’t scan an entire document for one little piece of information if you don’t need to. Just like a good retriever, you can ask your PDF with AI technology to sniff out a specific piece of content from the larger document.

Its ability to find a piece of information can save you loads of time if you're cramming for that big test or want to get up to speed quickly without taking the time to read the entire document.

2. Could you summarize the PDF content?

If you have a long document but little time to read it, your PDF AI Assistant can help. Simply ask it to summarize the document, and it’ll scan the PDF to pull out the most important information and put it all together in a shorter summary.

You can save the summary to your device as a separate PDF. Once you have several summaries, you can combine the various PDFs to create one fantastic note sheet using an online PDF merge tool. You can also perform other PDF functions with your summaries, like converting PDF to Word for easy edits or additions or adding comments or text online.

3. What is the definition of this word?

If you’re reading a paper about a complex topic, there may be words or phrases you’re not familiar with. Luckily, you have your handy PDF AI Assistant to help.

In the text box, ask your PDF about the meaning of a specific word or phrase, and it’ll tell you right away. That way, you can keep reading your document uninterrupted without needing to pull up another tab or reach for the dictionary.
