DocuAsk for PDF research

Ask your PDF a question. Check the cited page.

Paste a public PDF link, ask one specific question, and get an answer with citations you can open beside the document. Start without creating an account.

Ask a PDF question

The public PDF trial works without signup.

A cited example

Judge the answer by its evidence.

This example uses public source documents. Each finding points back to the exact PDF page so a researcher can verify the wording.

Research question

"What are BERT's two pre-training objectives, and why does bidirectional context matter?"

A useful answer separates the paper's two objectives from the reason its context setup matters.

Masked language modeling

BERT predicts randomly masked input tokens from their surrounding context. This lets the representation combine information from both the left and right sides of a token.

Next sentence prediction

The second task trains BERT to decide whether one sentence follows another, pretraining relationships that matter for sentence-pair tasks.

Deep bidirectional context

BERT conditions on left and right context across every layer. The authors contrast this with unidirectional models, whose one-sided context can limit token-level tasks such as question answering.

A focused workflow

Move from one question to a source you can verify.

The public trial keeps the PDF, answer, and citations in one view. Start with a precise question, then open the cited passage before you use the finding.

The public trial starts from a direct public PDF link. Uploading private files and asking across a document library requires an active workspace trial.

  1. 01

    Add the public PDF

    Paste a direct link to the PDF you need to understand. DocuAsk prepares the document for questions without requiring signup.

  2. 02

    Ask one concrete question

    Name the method, result, risk, date, or comparison you need instead of asking for a broad overview.

  3. 03

    Open the cited passage

    Read the source page beside the answer so you can confirm the wording, scope, and surrounding context.

Start with a PDF you already need to understand.

Paste a public PDF link, ask a real research question, and inspect the cited answer before creating an account.
