fileai
FileAI answers questions about uploaded documents and links each answer to its source passage, which users can check in the file. It is aimed at people reviewing contracts, tenders, policies, reports or study materials.
One of 31 tools in Legal
Who it's for
- Contract and lease reviewers who need to check terms such as notice periods, renewal dates and fees against the source document.
- Teams responding to tenders who need to find requirements and evaluation factors in tender documents.
- People reviewing policies, reports, research papers or lecture slides who want document-grounded answers with passages to verify.
Not the right fit if…
- People who need to analyze scanned PDFs: the page says scanned PDFs, or photos of pages, are not supported.
- People seeking legal or financial advice: FileAI says it helps users read documents and is not legal or financial advice.
How it fits your workflow
Try the sample consulting agreement without an account, or create a free account and upload a supported file. Ask a question in plain English about the document.
Review the answer's numbered sources. Open a source to see where the answer came from; for PDFs, FileAI highlights the passage on the page. If the document does not cover the question, FileAI says so instead of guessing.

Are my files used to train AI?

Each answer has numbered sources that open the passage it came from, highlighted on the page in PDFs. If the document does not cover the question, FileAI says so instead of guessing. The page notes that FileAI helps users read documents and is not legal or financial advice.
