Stop endless scrolling through PDF & Word files
Document.bot helps you find answers faster, update existing files with AI, keep sensitive document work offline, and more.
Built for researchers, legal and policy teams, and knowledge workers dealing with large file sets, messy folders, and workflows that cannot rely on cloud-only AI.
Search across reports, notes, PDFs, specs, and supporting files without manually rebuilding context every time you ask a question.
Find clauses, conflicting definitions, and downstream references fast, then edit existing documents with traceable AI help instead of blind rewrites.
Use local models on a MacBook or connect to company AI servers when files cannot be pushed into public cloud tools.
Built for people who already live in folders full of important files.
Index a whole project workspace once, then search and reason across long reports, draft notes, appendices, and reference files without dragging them into chat over and over.
Find the right clause, compare wording across versions, trace where a definition is reused, and update the actual document rather than drafting disconnected text in a separate window.
Keep sensitive material inside local folders, offline models, or company-hosted AI servers while still getting semantic search, grounded retrieval, and AI-assisted editing.
One workspace for reading, editing, and reasoning across real files.
Work across PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, markdown, text, and images.
Open mixed folders, index the workspace up front, inspect the original files, and keep the assistant grounded in the same material you are reading. This is built for document-heavy workflows, not just chat prompts.
Choose online or offline AI providers without changing your workflow.
Use ChatGPT login, API providers, or local models depending on the job and the sensitivity of the material. The UI stays consistent while the model layer stays flexible, whether you are on a MacBook, an internal inference server, or public APIs.
Closer to document work than Cursor, ChatGPT, or Word.
| Category | Document.bot | Cursor IDE | ChatGPT | Word |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Document-heavy work across real folders and mixed file types. | Excellent for codebases, not built around office documents and PDFs. | General-purpose chat with attachments. | Strong document editor, weak cross-workspace AI layer. |
| Workspace context | Indexes the workspace up front so search and AI start from the full folder. | Indexes code well, but not designed for legal, research, and office file sets. | You keep dragging files in manually and rebuilding context session by session. | No workspace-wide semantic index across mixed files. |
| Edit existing docs | Built to inspect, update, review, and trace changes in existing documents. | Optimized for editing source files, not reviewing policy and research docs. | Can draft text, but editing real existing files is awkward and disconnected. | Edits documents well, but AI provider choice and retrieval are limited. |
| Model choice | OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, ChatGPT login, Ollama, LM Studio, and more. | Provider options exist, but the product is centered on coding workflows. | Mostly one provider experience. | Primarily Microsoft’s built-in AI path. |
| Sensitive data | Works with local models and company AI servers for private workflows. | Better for local code than local document-review workflows. | Cloud-first by default. | Usually tied to your existing Office environment and cloud posture. |
| Trust and traceability | Grounded answers, source-linked retrieval, and reviewable change flow. | Good for code diffs, not for policy/manual traceability across office docs. | Answers are fast, but provenance and downstream edit review are weaker. | Versioning exists, but cross-file AI traceability is limited. |
How to open the beta if macOS says the app is damaged or blocked.
Download the DMG
Open Document.Bot-0.1.0-arm64.dmg.
Move the app to Applications
Drag Document.Bot.app into Applications.
Run this once in Terminal
Then launch the app again normally.
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Document.Bot.app"
open "/Applications/Document.Bot.app"
Fallback: Open Anyway
If macOS blocks the app and you do not want to use Terminal, scroll to the Security section in Privacy & Security and allow Document.Bot manually.
