Overview

ChattyDocs is a document question-answering tool covering PDFs, files and websites, with two features that separate it from the crowded field it sits in.

The first is datasets: documents are grouped and managed as collections rather than queried one at a time, which is what makes it usable past a handful of files. The second is Telegram access – being able to query your own documents from a chat app you already have open is a genuinely different interaction model from opening a web app to ask one question.

Plans are monthly and cancellable at any time. Notably, the vendor offers full self-hosting via Docker – database, vector store, web application and all services – quoted on request. For anyone whose documents cannot leave their own infrastructure, that option matters more than any feature on the list.

Key features

  • Chat with PDFs, files and websites
  • Dataset management for grouping documents
