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. - You could make: Documents: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** Chat assistant, Documents, AI features, Public API ## Alternatives - [ChatPDF](https://toolgpa.com/tools/chatpdf): Ask questions about PDFs and get answers with citations.
