What Makes It Special

Think of our document tool as your smart PDF assistant. Instead of just reading PDFs, it actually understands them. Upload any PDF, select the content you care about, and watch as AI transforms it into exactly what you need.

The Magic in Action

Upload a research paper, select a complex paragraph, and ask it to "explain this in simple terms." Or highlight a data table and ask it to "create a summary of the key findings." Our document tool doesn't just extract text—it understands context, meaning, and relationships.

Text Selection

Click and drag to select any text, just like in any word processor

Three Ways to Select Content

The magic starts when you select content. Docimate gives you three different ways to choose what you want to work with, each perfect for different situations.

The most intuitive way—just click and drag to select any text, just like in any word processor.

  • Perfect for paragraphs, sentences, or specific phrases
  • Works across multiple lines and columns
  • Right-click for AI options like summarize or format

Best for: Research papers, contracts, articles, any text-heavy content

Box Selection

Draw a box around any area to capture everything inside—text, images, tables, whatever is there.

  • Great for tables, charts, and mixed content
  • Captures images and visual elements too
  • AI can analyze the entire visual area

Best for: Data tables, infographics, charts, mixed content areas

Use the chat or side toolbar to interact with the entire document.

  • Summarize, auto format, and apply templates, as options in side toolbar
  • No need to select anything, just chat with the AI for full document references
  • AI pre-scans and understands the entire document

The AI Magic

This is where Docimate really shines. Select any content and right-click to see AI options that can transform your text into exactly what you need. Alternatively, you can use the chat or side toolbar to interact with the entire document.

Real Examples of What AI Can Do

Research Paper: Select a complex paragraph → "Explain this in simple terms" → Get a clear, easy-to-understand explanation

Contract: Select a section → "Summarize the key points" → Get bullet points of the most important terms

Report: Select data → "Format this as an email" → Get a professional email ready to send

Smart Summarization

Select any text and get an instant summary. Perfect for long documents, research papers, or dense content.

Quick Summary

Right-click → "Summarize" → Get a concise overview in seconds

Full Document Summary

Use the toolbar to summarize the entire document at once

Pro Tip: Summaries are saved to your history, so you can always go back and review them later.

Quick Formatting

Transform any content into different formats. Turn messy unstructured data into a structured format, like a chart or a table.

Quick Format

Right-click → "Quick Format" → AI designs a table to summarize the content

Pro Tip: You can also use templates for more specific formatting needs.

Chat with Your Document

This is where it gets really interesting. Select any content and start a conversation with AI about it.

Ask "What does this mean?" or "Explain this concept"
Get "What are the key points here?" or "What should I remember?"
Ask "How does this relate to [topic]?" for deeper insights
Request "Write this as a [different format]" for transformations

Pro Tip: The chat sidebar stays open so you can have an ongoing conversation about your document.
