Chat With Any PDF, Spreadsheet or Report

Ctrl+F finds the word. This finds the answer.

Search inside a long document only works when you already know the term you are looking for. The useful questions are the ones you cannot search for — what did they commit to and by when, where do these two reports contradict each other, which clause changes if we miss the deadline. Upload the files and ask.

What you can upload

  • PDFs — contracts, reports, papers, manuals, statements
  • Spreadsheets and CSVs, which the code interpreter can compute over directly
  • Images, screenshots, diagrams and scanned pages
  • Slide decks and text documents
  • Source files, logs and config for technical work
  • Several at once, with questions that span all of them

Questions worth asking a document

  • "Summarise this for someone who has ten seconds, then for someone who has ten minutes."
  • "List every obligation with a date attached, in a table."
  • "Where does this contradict the other file I uploaded?"
  • "What is conspicuously absent from this that a document of this type usually contains?"
  • "Explain section 7 as though I have no background in this."
  • "What would a sceptical reviewer attack first?"

Why long context matters here

Many document tools chunk a file and retrieve fragments, which works for lookup and fails for anything requiring the whole picture. A question like "does this report ever contradict itself" cannot be answered from three retrieved paragraphs.

Clade includes the long-context models that take an entire report or paper in a single pass, and you can switch between them without re-uploading — one file, several models, one thread.

Cautions worth taking seriously

  • For anything consequential — legal, medical, financial — treat output as a first read, not advice.
  • Verify quoted passages against the document. Paraphrase can drift.
  • Scanned documents of poor quality produce weaker extraction; check numbers especially.
  • Redact personal and confidential data you are not authorised to process.
  • Ask the same question of a second model when the answer will inform a real decision.

Frequently asked questions

What file types can I upload?

PDFs, spreadsheets, CSVs, images, screenshots, slides and text documents, plus source files and logs for technical work — several at once.

Is there a page limit?

Practical limits depend on the model you choose. The long-context models handle very large documents in one pass, and you can switch models on the same uploaded file without re-uploading it.

Can it compare two documents?

Yes — upload both and ask directly where they differ, agree or contradict each other. Cross-document questions are one of the strongest uses.

Are my uploaded documents private?

Uploads and conversations are never used to train models, data is encrypted, and you can delete anything permanently.

Can it do maths on a spreadsheet?

Yes. The code interpreter runs real calculations over the uploaded data rather than a language model estimating them, and can chart the result.
