# What?

### **What is Doc Chat?**

Doc Chat is an AI-powered interactive chatbot that lets you ask questions about your documents and get answers linked to the relevant parts of the text. It can work with one or more documents, including PDF and DOCX files, helping you quickly understand or extract information without manually searching through the content.

Unlike generic chatbots, Doc Chat is layout-aware and legal-focused. It highlights answers that can be directly inserted into your open Word document, retaining the lay-out formatting you have already applied, making it easy to integrate AI-generated content seamlessly.

The chatbot supports follow-up questions, allows you to link back to the source paragraphs for easy navigation and filter queries to ensure it only responds to legal-related topics. It is designed to assist legal professionals in efficiently analysing and working with their documents.
