Reading academic papers is hard. Dense methodology sections, unfamiliar terminology, complex statistical analyses — it's easy to spend an hour on a single paper and still miss the key points.
Sentino AI's PDF Chat feature lets you have a conversation with any paper. Upload a PDF, and our AI reads the entire document. Then you can ask it anything.
What You Can Do
Once you upload a PDF, the possibilities are wide:
- "Summarize this paper in 3 bullet points" — get the gist instantly
- "What methodology did they use?" — extract specific sections
- "What are the limitations of this study?" — critical analysis
- "Extract all the key statistics and p-values" — data extraction
- "How does this compare to [other paper]?" — comparative analysis
- "Explain the results section in simple terms" — plain language summaries
How It Works Under the Hood
When you upload a PDF, Sentino AI:
- Extracts the full text using intelligent PDF parsing
- Chunks the document into meaningful sections
- Creates vector embeddings for semantic search within the document
- Uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to answer your questions with citations to specific pages
This means every answer is grounded in the actual paper text — no hallucinations, no made-up citations.
