Quick start

From signup to first digest.

Five steps. About two minutes end-to-end once your account is created.

  1. 01

    Sign in

    Open /login and create an account with email and password. Google and GitHub sign-in are available when the providers are enabled. No credit card. Your free tier gives you 3M tokens per month.

  2. 02

    Drop your files

    Go to /dashboard and drag PDFs, DOCXs, ZIP batches, or supported office files into the upload zone. You can mix file types in a single job. Free tier accepts 75MB per job.

  3. 03

    Press Run

    Click Run digest. The pipeline spins up a Modal container, runs Docling for layout-aware parsing, and stitches the outputs into one ordered Markdown document. A typical 4.5MB cold-start run completes in about 62 seconds; warm runs of the same file land in ~17 seconds.

  4. 04

    Copy the digest

    When the job lands on succeeded, the digest panel renders inline with section headers, tables, and a YAML front-matter block you can keep or strip. Click Copy or download the .md file.

  5. 05

    Paste into your LLM

    Paste the digest into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or whatever you use. Every section keeps a ## file: foo.pdf header so the model can cite back to source. If you want a structured cognitive snapshot, click View IU72 panels on the job page — see /docs/iu72.
