Chat with your documents in a workspace that keeps them
Search+ is a place to chat with your documents that keeps them, and your conversations, in your own account. You upload your PDFs into workspaces, ask about them in plain language and get answers that cite the excerpts they rely on. Each account's workspaces and documents are kept separate from other accounts, and everything is still there the next time you sign in, so the files you rely on become a resource you return to rather than something you re-upload for every question.
Sign up without payment details. Sign-in runs through Clerk accounts.
Your files, your questions
The value of chatting with your own documents shows up in questions only your files can answer. Some examples, and what you get back:
An answer drawn from your copy of the lease, with a citation that opens the clause, so you are reading your agreement rather than a generic explanation of leases.
If the workshop notes are in the workspace as a PDF, a short recap with citations to the passages. If they are not, the answer says so instead of guessing.
A list of the briefs that mention it, each with its own citation, drawn only from the documents you uploaded.
If you have saved house style rules as Workspace Context, the answer follows them without you repeating them, and still cites the clause it summarizes.
Not a new answer at all: you reopen the earlier conversation from your history, with its workspace and context intact.
What does chatting with your documents involve?
Chatting with your documents means asking an AI questions whose answers come from files you supplied, not from what the model learned elsewhere. Three things decide whether that works in practice. First, grounding: the answer must be built from your text and show where it came from, which in Search+ means inline citations to the supporting excerpt. Second, ownership: your files sit in your account, scoped so that other accounts cannot read them. Third, continuity: the documents and the conversations stay put, so a question asked next month starts from the same collection. Search+ organizes all three around workspaces, one per project, each holding its PDFs, its conversations and an optional set of standing instructions called Workspace Context. The practical effect is that a question about your documents does not start from zero. The files are already processed, the earlier threads are a click away in your history, and the instructions you wrote once keep shaping each new answer.
How to start chatting with your documents
- Create your account
Sign up at app.searchplus.ai. No payment details are needed to create the account.
- Set up a workspace per project
Give each project its own workspace so answers come from the right files. Rename or archive a workspace when the project changes.
- Bring in your PDFs
Drag your files in, up to 10 at a time, and keep working while each one is processed in the background.
- Ask, check, come back
Ask in your own words, open citations to read the excerpts, and return to the conversation from your history whenever the project picks up again.
Why your documents stay useful in Search+
Each account's workspaces and documents are kept separate from other accounts.
Workspaces, documents and conversations persist, so you pick up where you left off.
Inline citations point to the document and excerpt each answer uses.
Workspace Context stores standing instructions, such as your terminology or what to leave out, and applies them to every question in that workspace.
Search your workspaces and your past conversations by name.
Create, rename and archive workspaces as projects start and finish.
What to know before you bring your files
Your files are uploaded to Search+ to be processed. If documents must never leave your machine, a local tool is the right choice.
Search+ does not connect to cloud drives, email or chat tools. Add documents by uploading them to a workspace.
AI answers can be incomplete or inaccurate. Open the cited excerpt before you rely on an important point.
Your own document workspace vs pasting into a chatbot
| Pasting text into a chatbot | Search+ | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the source text lives | In a message you sent once | In a workspace in your account |
| Next session | Paste it again | The files and threads are still there |
| Seeing which passage was used | Not shown | Citation opens the excerpt |
| Keeping your standing preferences | Repeat them each time | Workspace Context applies them to every question |
