Best for asking questions of a PDF, Word, CSV or text file
Docalysis lets you upload a PDF, Word, text or CSV file and ask it questions. The free plan has 50 question credits a month and a 5 MB file limit, and files are kept indefinitely on Amazon S3 unless you ask for a retention policy.
Who Docalysis is for
- Fits if you want quick answers out of a long PDF
- Works for someone who occasionally asks questions of a handful of files
Who Docalysis is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 50 question credits a month and files up to 5 MB
- Skip it if your files are slides or other formats, as only PDF, TXT, CSV and DOCX are listed
- Watch out: documents are kept indefinitely on Amazon S3 until you delete them
- Watch out: batch processing and the Business plan have no published price
- Pricey if you want bigger files, which means Plus at $14 a month

Keep Docalysis, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Docalysis you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 49 other AI research tools grade higher. It costs $168 a year.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Docalysis’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Docalysis?
Docalysis is a web app where you upload a document and ask questions about it in a chat. It reads PDF, TXT, CSV and DOCX files, can chat with a whole folder of files at once, and offers embed code, an API and batch processing for teams with many documents. Use is metered in monthly question credits and page uploads.
Worth knowing
- Only PDF, TXT, CSV and DOCX files are listed as supported, and the vendor lists no mobile or desktop app.
- The free plan caps files at 5 MB and 150 pages and allows 50 chat messages a month.
- Documents are kept indefinitely by default and stored on Amazon S3 until you delete them; a specific retention policy has to be requested.
- Batch processing and the Business plan are arranged through the vendor, with no published price.
Key features
- Chat with a document
- Upload a PDF, TXT, CSV or DOCX file and ask questions about it in a conversation. Each chat message uses one question credit.
- Multi-file chat
- Move several files into a folder and chat with the folder to ask questions across all of them. This is available on every plan, including Free.
- Many languages
- The FAQ lists English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and others; the chat switches to the language you write in.
- Share and embed
- A file made public can be shared by link or placed on a website with embed code, so visitors can ask it questions.
- Batch processing
- For hundreds or thousands of files, the vendor runs a set of questions you supply over documents in a cloud drive and returns a CSV of answers. This is arranged by contacting the vendor.
- Bonus credits
- When a month's question credits or page uploads run out, extra bonus credits can be bought instead of changing plan. They are used only after the plan's own credits.
