Frequently asked questions

Does AI PDF Chat work without an external AI provider?

The application can expose a local fallback for supported retrieval workflows, but model-generated answers require the configured provider and policy. The UI reports unavailable capabilities honestly.

Are answers guaranteed to be correct?

No. Treat generated answers as an assistive summary and inspect the cited source pages before making a legal, financial, or operational decision.

Can I use AI PDF Chat for confidential files?

Review the deployment's provider and retention policy first. Use Zero-Upload or the offline client when the document must never leave the device.
