How to chat with documents in AmmarAI

Document Chat lets you add a document to a conversation and ask questions about its content, structure and context. It is useful for obtaining a summary, locating a detail or exploring a long file without losing the source conversation.

The sequence below follows the complete end-user upload and chat workflow. The screenshots are the original instructional images supplied by the reference documentation and are shown without cropping or alteration.

When to use this

  • You need a quick overview of a long report or PDF.
  • You want to locate clauses, dates, figures or decisions in a file.
  • You want to ask follow-up questions while keeping the document attached to the conversation.

Upload and question a document

  1. Open the file control

    Open AI Chat Pro and select the add control beside the message field. This opens the file and content picker for the conversation.

  4. Ask the first question

    Confirm that the file appears with the message, write a clear question about its contents and send the message. A broad opening question can confirm that the correct document was attached.

    Attach the file, enter the question and send it together.
  5. Review the answer and continue

    Read the answer against the source, then continue in the same thread with narrower questions. Ask for the relevant passage or location when you need to verify an important detail.

Questions to try

  • Summarise the document in ten points for a reader new to the subject.
  • List every date and deadline, with the section where each appears.
  • Extract the fees and payment terms into a table.
  • Quote the passage that supports this answer.

Limits and good practice

  • Check consequential answers against the original document before acting on them.
  • Scanned pages, handwriting and complex layouts may be read less reliably.
  • Split very large files when you need close analysis of a particular section.
  • Do not upload confidential documents unless you are authorised to process them.
