Chat with a PDF
Turn any theological PDF into a conversation
Upload a paper, a commentary, a dissertation, a homily transcript — and ask it anything. Citations quote the exact page, so you can verify every claim against the source.
What to upload
- Journal articles you are trying to digest before a seminar.
- Monographs and dissertations you want to navigate quickly.
- Sermons, homilies, synod documents you are preparing a response to.
- Primary-source translations where footnote density matters.
How it works
- Drop in the PDF — a few seconds of indexing and the whole document is searchable.
- Ask any question — summary, definition, counter-argument, connection to another text.
- Every answer cites page numbers. Click a citation to jump to the source.
- Your documents are private to you. They are not used to train models.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for scanned PDFs?
Yes. OCR runs automatically when the PDF is image-based. Quality depends on the scan — a clean 300 DPI scan works well; a shaky photo of a photocopy will be hit-and-miss.
Are my uploads private?
Yes. Uploads are isolated to your account, not shared across users, and not used for model training. See the privacy policy.
How large can a file be?
Up to roughly 200 pages or 40 MB on the free tier. Paid plans raise the ceiling for dissertations and multi-volume works.
Can it handle multiple languages?
Yes. The Christian AI reads documents in sixteen supported languages and can answer in a language different from the source if you prefer. Useful when a German article needs to be discussed in English or an Arabic homily analysed in French.
Can I upload multiple files and ask across them?
Yes. Create a workspace, upload several PDFs, and ask questions that span them — 'What do these three commentaries say about Romans 7?' or 'Do my sources agree on the dating of John?' Citations identify which file each claim came from.
Will it paraphrase the text or quote it?
Both, as needed. Direct quotes appear in quotation marks with page numbers. Summaries are explicitly marked as paraphrase. You always see which you are reading, so nothing sneaks past the citation layer.
Can students use this for coursework?
Yes — for understanding the source, organising notes, and comparing arguments. Do not submit AI-generated prose as your own; that is academic dishonesty in every institution we know of. Use the tool to comprehend, then write in your own voice.
Does it work for pastors preparing sermons?
Yes. Upload your exegetical notes, commentaries, and last year's sermon on the same text, and the Christian AI will help you find threads worth pulling, identify ideas you have already used, and surface counter-voices. The preaching itself is still yours.
Can I export the conversation?
Yes. Export threads as Markdown or PDF with citations preserved. Paste them into your notes app, thesis draft, or sermon folder. The knowledge compounds over time if you keep the exports.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free plan includes a generous quota for document uploads up to the size limit. Paid plans expand the file size ceiling, unlock the Expert model for dense academic work, and allow larger multi-document workspaces.
