Hey everyone, I've been trying out some AI apps to make sense of complicated docs faster. It's kinda cool how they break stuff down, but I'm curious what y'all use or recommend? Some tools are hit or miss tho, so would love to hear your thoughts!

With so many options out there, does anyone have a favorite free AI doc explainer?
Sometimes I just upload the doc and ask the AI to summarize chapter by chapter, saves me hours.
I've been using a couple of AI helpers to summarize reports and they do a decent job. Still gotta double-check tho, sometimes they miss stuff.
Some AI explainers are good but can struggle with really dense academic papers. Anyone got tips for those?
One cool trick is to ask the AI for examples or analogies, that makes complex stuff easier to grasp.
Does the AI ever explain stuff too simply? Like, I want detail sometimes, not just a summary.
I'm curious how folks deal with different file formats, like PDFs vs Word docs with these AI tools.
I find voice input helps when explaining docs, like talking through it with the AI.
Does anyone know if there's a tool that works well with multiple languages for doc explanations?
I started using one that highlights key points and explains jargon. It's pretty handy for legal stuff.
AI tools are great but I still think a quick skim and highlight is important to keep up your own understanding.
For folks using these tools in work, how do you keep data privacy? Just curious.
Honestly, some AI tools feel like they just regurgitate info without real understanding. Anyone felt that?
