Watch how it works
What you can ask it
Multilo Chat PDF is built for the questions that come up while you’re actually doing research and get stuck in the middle, whether it is about a difficult concept, lengthy papers, or missing gaps. You can chat with PDFs and get clear explanations in seconds and continue working
Get every answer traced back to its source
Each answer Multilo presents is linked to the paper and passage it came from. So you can check it against the real sources with one click instead of a whole re read.
Compare what several papers say
You can upload more than one source into the same conversation and ask how they agree, disagree or build on each other for more reliable answers, instead of working on one document at a time.
Turn a dense section into plain language
Ask the Multilo AI chat PDF to explain a specific section, whether it is a methods section, an abstract, or a technical passage, in plain terms to understand well.
Get the summary before you commit to reading
You can ask for the whole paper in summary before you decide whether it is worth a full read, and then pair it with Multilo’s Summarize agent for a fuller section-by-section pass.
Get equations, tables, and figures explained
You can ask about any query related to graphs, tables, equations, or figures mentioned in a specific paper in the same way you do with paragraphs and clear your confusion in minutes.
Why Multilo
Your whole writing workflow, in one place
Draft, cite, chat with PDFs, research, and refine without ever leaving your project—and it all keeps working offline, on your device. Free to start; no subscription needed for the free trial.
Answers you can verify, not trust
The biggest worry with any AI tool that reads a PDF for you is whether the answer is actually right. Multilo Chat PDF is built in a way that it also provides the answers with attached links so you can verify directly.
1
Grounded
Answers come from the document you uploaded, not from general knowledge or outside guesses.
2
Traceable
Each answer links back to the page and passage it was drawn from, so you can read it in context yourself.
3
Checkable
If an answer doesn’t match the source, that mismatch is visible immediately so you can reject or accept the suggestion.
Multilo Chat PDF doesn’t work alone
A standalone chat-with-PDF tool stops once it answers your question. Inside Multilo, that answer stays in the same workspace as everything else you’re doing—so you can understand, use and refine suggestions at the same writing workspace.
Sources HUB
Every PDF you chat with lives alongside the rest of your project’s sources, ready to reopen or reference later.
Claim Check
Verify a claim you pulled from a chat against your source and the rest of your project library so that every citation is ready to go into your paper.
Full Draft Writer
Skip the blank page anxiety and start with Multilo’s full draft writer agent, and then take what you learned from the chat and keep writing in the same draft with every citation attached.
local-first desktop app
Your documents stay yours
Chatting with a PDF may include documents that are not published yet maybe a draft, an unreleased dataset, or a paper under review. In such cases, privacy matters the most, and Multilo takes it very seriously.
Local by design
Multilo is a desktop workspace, so the sources you chat with live in your project, not a public cloud inbox..
In your control
Nothing is uploaded, shared, or chatted with until you choose to add it to a project.
You can delete a source from a project, and its chat history goes with it—nothing is kept unless you chose to keep.
who is it for?
Built for every stage of academic work
Whether you are a student working on an assigned essay or a graduate needing assistance for complex concepts across dozens of papers, Multilo is built to assist you in every academic stage.
For students
Most students find it difficult to understand complex and dense papers and struggle to complete their assigned topic essay in time. Understand it well and deliver your assignment within the deadline with Multilo.
For researchers
Quickly sort through a stack of papers by asking each one the same question and identifying which ones deserve a full read.
For academic writers
Pull a claim, finding, or figure directly into your draft while keeping the original source and page number attached, so everything stays traceable and ready to cite.
Frequently asked questions
How does Chat PDF work?
Upload a PDF or pull one in from your project’s Sources Hub, then ask it a question in plain language. Multilo reads the document, answers in the chat, and links each answer back to where it found that information in the source, so you can check it before you use it.
Is Multilo Chat PDF accurate?
Every answer is grounded in the document you uploaded, not general knowledge, and is traceable back to the passage it came from. That traceability is the check: if an answer doesn’t match what’s on the page, you’ll see it immediately.
Can I chat with more than one PDF at a time?
Yes. You can add several sources to a project, and Chat PDF can draw on all of them in the same conversation, so you can ask how two papers compare instead of reading each one separately.
Does Multilo work with scanned PDFs and other document formats?
Multilo supports PDFs, Word documents, and other common document formats. Standard text-based PDFs can be read directly, while scanned PDFs may require OCR before the text can be processed. If a file needs OCR or additional processing, Multilo will let you know when you upload it.
Is there a free version of Multilo Chat PDF?
Yes. The Multilo desktop workspace is free to download, and Chat PDF is available on free monthly credits.
How is this different from a standalone chat-with-PDF tool?
A standalone tool stops at the answer. In Multilo, what you learn from a source stays in the same workspace as your draft — you can verify a claim, drop a citation into your paper, or keep writing without exporting anything or switching tools.
Is it safe to chat with sensitive or unpublished documents?
Multilo is a desktop workspace, so the sources you chat with live in your project, not a public cloud inbox. Removing a source from a project removes its chat history with it, and you stay in control of what’s uploaded at every step.
New questiCan Chat PDF explain equations, tables, and figures?on
Yes. You can ask what a table is showing, what a formula is calculating, or what a figure means, in plain language, the same way you’d ask about a paragraph.
Does Chat PDF work in languages other than English?
Yes. Upload a source in one language and ask your questions in another—ChatPDF reads and answers across languages, so a source doesn’t need to match the language you’re writing in.
Can I get a summary of the whole document, not answers to specific questions?
Yes. Ask Chat.PDF to summarize a source before you commit to reading it closely. Also, there is another summarizing agent that you can use if you want to summarize a specific section of your draft.
