Why people choose ReasonDocs
A project holds your files, a chat answers from them, and a link puts that chat in front of your team or your customers.
A project for each subject
Keep the files for one topic together. Every question you ask in that project is answered from those files.
Answers from your own text
Ask in a plain sentence and get an answer drawn from the PDF, .txt, .md, and .csv files you added.
CSV questions in plain language
Upload a CSV and ask for totals, filters, and comparisons instead of writing a formula or a query.
A public link with an expiry
Turn on a public link so anyone you send it to can ask the chat. Set it to end after a day, a week, a month, or never.
Embed on your own site
List the domains you allow, then place the chat on a help page, a docs page, or inside your app.
Encrypted storage
Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest.
How to move your sources over
Bring the files you already ask about and see the same answers in a project.
1. Create a project
Name it after the subject, such as Onboarding handbook or March orders.
2. Add your files
Upload PDF, .txt, .md, and .csv files, paste text, or import a file link. Text from a Google Doc can be pasted straight in.
3. Ask your usual questions
Try the questions you ask most often and compare the answers with what you already know.
4. Share the chat
Send the public link, or embed the chat where your readers already are.
What ReasonDocs adds to a document chat
Findings, filters, and sharing are part of every project.
Findings behind each answer
Expand an answer to see what each document contributed. CSV findings appear as a table.
Filter by document
Select the documents that should count, apply the filter, and ask again.
Share with your team
Share a project with teammates so they can chat with the same documents.
