Docalysis

Docalysis is a chat interface for PDF documents. A user uploads one or more files and asks questions in plain language, and the AI answers from the content of those files, saving the time otherwise spent reading long documents manually. Multi file chat lets a single conversation draw on several uploads at once. The product line includes Chat for interactive questions, Batch for processing many documents, Embed for placing document chat inside other sites, and an API for developers. The vendor states that uploaded files are secure and can be deleted at any time. It is a small startup based in Mountain View, California, founded in 2023 by Jeff Pickhardt, a former Google and Palo Alto Networks engineer. It suits analysts, researchers, legal and finance staff, students and anyone who regularly works through long reports, contracts or papers. Usage is metered in credits: each chat message uses one question credit, and messages that end in a warning or error are not charged. Page uploads are capped each month, and bonus credits can be purchased once plan allowances are used. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes a 5 MB file limit, 600 page uploads per month, 150 pages per file and 50 question credits. Plus costs $14 per month with 20 MB files, 3,000 pages per month, 600 pages per file and 500 credits. Ultimate costs $35 per month with 50 MB files, 8,000 pages per month, 1,800 pages per file and 1,500 credits. A Business plan has custom limits, team administration and phone support at a price on request. Annual billing carries a 20 percent discount.
