Using HypoDoc
HypoDoc is a new feature that makes it easy for you to go through lengthy documents—simply upload a file, then query it for information like you’re chatting with a colleague, and the AI will extract key insights for you.
We won't be charging for credits during our beta period, so give it a go and let us know your feedback!
How to use HypoDoc
Using HypoDoc is easy. Follow the steps below to get started:
First, go to HypoDoc, which is located in the sidebar under HypoChat.
1. Uploading your file
To upload a file, click on the upload box, or drag and drop your file into the upload box located in the ‘Chats’ bar to the left.
HypoDoc currently only supports files in PDF format.
Wait for a few seconds while the AI reads your file. When it’s ready, you will receive a quick summary of your document and some suggested questions to start.
Note: Your file must be smaller than 32MB.
Query the AI by typing your questions into the chatbox.
The AI is designed to understand natural language, so while you can type in a simple question, being specific will help HypoDoc give you a good response.
You can ask sequential questions to make the most of HypoDoc's good memory. HypoDoc will remember what you talked about before and can give you more detailed and relevant information in response to your follow-up questions.
To make the most out of the tool, you can also ask HypoDoc to search the web for relevant webpages that support your research.

FAQs
My file is smaller than 32mb. Why can’t I upload it?
You will no longer be able to upload a file once you hit your rate limit. Consider upgrading your subscription plan to continue using HypoChat immediately, or wait for the rate limit to reset on your next billing date.
Can HypoDoc read non-English documents?
Yes—we support over 30 input and output languages. Simply query HypoChat in any of the supported languages to get a response in your language.
Is the information retrieved by HypoDoc rewritten or plagiarized?
Nope, HypoDoc references the PDF document but writes everything from scratch. When it retrieves content from URL links, the AI reads the content and rewrites the information completely.
Will my uploaded documents be kept private?
Absolutely. User privacy is our top priority and we put in place robust systems to safeguard your data with us.
