AI workspace
AI PDF workspace for OCR, summaries, and Chat with PDF.
DockDocs stays PDF tools first. The AI Workspace layer helps when a document needs OCR, a summary, Chat with PDF, or a quick analysis — three AI tools on one page, each run on its own.
In this workspace
Workspace capabilities
One enhancement layer for practical document workflows.
OCR
Extract text from scanned PDFs and prepare documents for summaries or reuse.
AI Summary
Turn longer PDF reports, forms, and packets into concise working notes.
Chat with PDF
Ask questions about clauses, dates, risks, tables, and document evidence.
Document analysis
Pull out the key clauses, dates, risks, and structure of a document for a quick review.
AI summary
Summarize a PDF without sending the full file to AI.
DockDocs extracts browser-readable PDF text locally, then sends text only to the configured AI provider. For scanned PDFs, run OCR first and paste the extracted text here.
Upload a PDF or paste OCR text to begin.
Privacy behavior
PDF text extraction runs in the browser. The AI provider receives extracted text only after you start summarization. Files are not uploaded to the AI provider by this workflow.
Document analysis
Analyze a document before you start asking questions.
Upload a PDF, paste OCR text, or analyze a saved chat context. DockDocs sends only extracted text to the AI provider and returns structured workspace notes.
Upload a PDF or paste text to start.
Chat with PDF
Ask questions about extracted PDF text.
DockDocs extracts readable PDF text locally, then sends only the selected text context and your question to the configured AI provider. For scanned PDFs, run OCR first and paste the extracted text here.
Upload a PDF or paste OCR text, then ask a question.
Prompt templates
Privacy behavior
The original PDF file is never sent to the AI provider. Only the extracted text and your question are sent, and only after you start the chat.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What can I do in the AI Workspace?
- Upload a PDF and chat with it, generate an AI summary with key points, run OCR on scanned pages, and analyze documents — all in one place, without switching tools.
- Is the AI Workspace free?
- Yes. You can upload a PDF and start chatting, summarizing, or running OCR for free. AI features have a free quota, with paid plans for heavier use.
- Do I need an account to chat with a PDF?
- You can try the workspace without signing up. An account lets you save your chats and pick up where you left off across sessions.
- How is the AI Workspace different from AI Summary?
- AI Summary gives you a one-shot structured summary of a document. The AI Workspace is the full environment: chat back and forth with the PDF, summarize, run OCR, and analyze — use it when one summary is not enough.
- Are my documents kept private?
- AI features send only the text needed to answer to the AI provider; DockDocs does not store your document after your session and does not use your files to train its own models. Page-level PDF tools like compress, merge, and split run entirely in your browser.
