Study Cue
PDF Chat guide

Chat with any document. Get cited answers.

PDF Chat lets you ask questions about any textbook, paper, or lecture notes and get accurate, source-cited answers — without reading the whole thing first.

How to use it
01
Upload your PDF

Drag and drop any PDF — textbook, lecture notes, research paper, or case study. Free plan supports up to 20 MB; Premium up to 50 MB.

02
Ask anything

Type your question in plain English. "What is the main argument in chapter 3?" or "Summarise the methodology section." No special syntax needed.

03
Get cited answers

Study Cue answers from your document — not from general AI knowledge. Answers cite the section or paragraph they came from so you can verify instantly.

04
Follow up

Ask follow-up questions in the same chat. The context is preserved — so you can explore a topic deeply without repeating yourself.

What you can use it for
Textbooks

Quickly locate definitions, theorems, and explanations buried in dense chapters.

Lecture notes

Compress hours of notes into concise answers to your exact questions.

Research papers

Extract methodology, findings, and conclusions without reading end-to-end.

Case law

Pull key principles, judgements, and legal reasoning from lengthy documents.

Exam papers

Ask the PDF to walk you through past questions and their model answers.

Study guides

Use PDF Chat to test your understanding of any structured guide or workbook.

Pro tips
Ask specific questions — "What does the author say about X in section 2?" works better than "Tell me about X."
Request summaries before diving deep: "Summarise this chapter" then "Explain the third point in more detail."
Use it as a revision tool: ask it to quiz you on key concepts from the document.
If an answer feels vague, ask "Can you quote the relevant passage?" to get the exact source text.
