Ask your papers

Once Paperful is connected, you can ask your assistant questions in plain language. It searches your papers, reads what it needs and answers from your documents.

How it works

For most questions, the assistant uses search to find the passages that matter. When it needs the full picture, it reads the whole paper with read_paper.

Example prompts

Find facts across documents

What were the revenue figures for Europe in the last two annual reports?

Summarize a document

Summarize the onboarding handbook in five bullet points.

Compare documents

Compare the termination clauses in the two supplier contracts.

Extract information

List every deadline mentioned in the grant application, with its date.

Tips

• Mention Paperful. Phrases like "in my papers" or "in Paperful" help the assistant know where to look.
• Name the document when you know it. The assistant can find it with list_papers instead of searching everything.
• Ask for sources. See Cite sources.
