Ask questions about text, Markdown, RTF and ODT files
Not every important document is a PDF. Meeting notes, exported chats, README files and drafts written in LibreOffice can be uploaded as .txt, .md, .rtf or .odt and questioned the same way.
Who it's for: Developers, writers, students and teams whose source material lives in plain text or open document formats.
Supported formats
Plain text (.txt)
Read as UTF-8 text. Line breaks are kept, so lists and logs stay readable on the page.
Markdown (.md)
Uploaded as text, which keeps headings and lists recognisable for questions like "what does the setup section say?".
Rich Text (.rtf)
Converted with its formatting into pages. RTF files that Windows labels as Word documents are recognised by their extension.
OpenDocument Text (.odt)
The LibreOffice and OpenOffice format, converted into pages like a Word file.
Good uses
- Ask a long meeting transcript what was decided and who owns each action.
- Ask a project README or design notes how a feature is meant to work.
- Find every mention of a supplier or product across a long exported note.
- Check a draft against what it claims in its summary.
How answers stay checkable
Every format is turned into fixed pages before indexing, so answers carry the same quoted passages and page highlights as a PDF. You can open the page view and read around the quote.
Limits to know
- Text files must be UTF-8. Files in other encodings are rejected with a clear message rather than read as garbled text.
- Markdown is treated as text: links, images and code blocks are not executed or fetched.
- Spreadsheets (CSV, Excel) are not supported, because questions about them usually need calculations rather than quotes.
Questions
Can I upload a CSV or Excel file?
Not at the moment. Spreadsheet questions usually need sums and calculations rather than quoted text, which is a different kind of tool.
Why was my .txt file rejected?
Text files have to be UTF-8 encoded. Re-save the file as UTF-8 in your editor and upload it again.
