ReasonDocs vs ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a great all-purpose assistant. ReasonDocs is built around a project of your own files, with a public link and an embed so other people can ask those files too.

Where ReasonDocs fits
One project holds the files, and the chat answers from them every time.
Files that live in a project
Add a note, a markdown file, or a CSV once. Every later question in that project uses the same files.
Choose which documents count
Select the documents for a question and apply the filter. The answer comes from just those files.
Findings you can open
Expand an answer to see what each document contributed. CSV findings appear as a table.
A link for other people
Publish the chat with a public link so a teammate, a customer, or a reviewer can ask the files themselves.
Embed with allowed domains
Place the chat on your own website and list the domains that may show it.
Encrypted files
Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest.
