The AI assistant, previously in beta, is a conversational engine “deeply integrated into PDF workflows, according to a post on Adobe’s blog. The company plans to launch a subscription plan for the tool once it comes out of beta version.

The AI assistant helps users digest information from long PDF documents by generating brief summaries of their content. The assistant also answers questions about the information in a document through a “conversational interface” and suggest questions about the file that users could ask.

The AI assistant can also generate citations that allows users to verify the source of its answers, and it produces text for various formats, such as emails, reports, and presentations, as reported by The Verge.

Other AI models, such as ChatGPT, offers PDF readers that similarly streamline the analysis of lengthy documents, but those services require users to upload a PDF. Adobe’s AI assistant is a built-in feature.
