Preparing a plan does not use AI. Checking generation availability…

Only when you click Generate are your question and selected original PDFs sent to an external AI service for analysis. The AI provider may use submitted content and responses to improve its services. Do not submit sensitive content. DotDock creates no duplicate PDF or extracted-text library; the provider’s processing policies still apply.

One AI use creates all three views. Research shares your site-wide AI allowance with Ask DotDock and PDF AI; there is no separate Research cap. An attempt is reserved before provider checks and may count even if those checks fail. Answers stay only on this page: copy yours before leaving. Only small request and quota records are retained temporarily.

BriefCompare findings, agreements, differences, and open questions.
Mind mapExplore the same findings, grouped into themes—not causal connections.
SourcesCheck AI-reported excerpts and physical PDF page numbers in the originals.

No manual uploads and no background processing of your library. Research reads only the original PDFs you select, when requested. Brief, Mind map and Sources use the same answer; changing views makes no AI call. Quotes and page numbers are not independently verified.
