Welcome To Document.Bot
Document.Bot is a desktop app for working with document-heavy folders. You choose a workspace folder on your computer, let Document.Bot index the files, and then use search, source inspection, and AI chat to work across PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, Markdown, notes, images, HTML, and text files.
The main idea is simple: work with the documents you already have instead of repeatedly uploading files into separate chat tools.
What You Can Do
- Search across a real project folder.
- Ask questions grounded in your workspace files.
- Open the original source behind an answer.
- Review PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, Markdown, images, and other common file types.
- Draft summaries, memos, update notes, and review comments with source context.
- Review AI-assisted file changes before accepting them.
- Choose between Document.Bot managed AI, ChatGPT login, API-key providers, company-hosted providers, or local/offline options depending on your setup.
The Basic Workflow
Who It Is For
Document.Bot is useful when your work depends on files that are spread across folders, formats, and versions:
- compliance and policy work
- research and analysis
- technical editing and documentation
- operations, proposals, and project briefs
- legal or contract review support
- sensitive document work where blind cloud upload is not acceptable
Document.Bot is not a replacement for human review. Treat AI output as a draft or discovery aid, then inspect the original sources before making important decisions.
Local-First Does Not Always Mean Offline
Document.Bot starts from files on your computer or in a folder you choose. Some features can still use online services depending on your AI provider, account setup, and indexing settings.
Before using sensitive documents, check:
- which AI provider is selected
- whether indexing uses a local or hosted model
- whether your organization allows the chosen provider
- whether the selected workspace contains only files you intend to use
