Answers from your files
Chat with a PDF. Ask the document instead of searching every page.
In short
James lets you ask questions about a PDF, Word or Excel file you provide. Request a summary, find a named passage or compare statements without manually searching every page. The answer can still miss tables, scans, footnotes or context, so important contracts, studies and financial documents must be checked against the original file.

The questions that matter before you try it.
Can I ask questions about a PDF in James?
Yes. Attach the PDF and ask about its content in everyday language.
Does James also support Word and Excel files?
The feature is designed for PDF, Word and Excel files, subject to the formats and size limits of the current app version.
Can James cite the passage behind an answer?
James can locate relevant passages where the file structure permits it. Always verify the wording in the original document.
Can I analyse a scanned PDF?
A scan may require text recognition and can be less reliable than a PDF containing selectable text.
Should I rely on the analysis of a contract?
No. James can help you navigate a document but does not replace qualified legal, financial or technical review.
James works best when features become one experience.
