Chat with PDF Roadmap
Chat with PDF requires retrieval quality, citation grounding and explicit upload boundaries. It remains separate from local MVP tools.
how it works
Designed for the shortest private path.

- Chat requires retrieval and citation quality gates.
- Upload, retention and deletion boundaries must be explicit before launch.

Practical boundaries before you process a file.
Why is Chat with PDF not in the local MVP?
Reliable PDF chat needs extraction, chunking, retrieval and citation quality beyond simple browser PDF editing.
Will answers include citations?
They should. Without citations, Chat with PDF can mislead users on legal, financial or academic documents.
