Do I need a paid plan to ask about a PDF?

Not for one file at a time: once you sign in, one file per message works on every plan. Several files together need a paid plan.

Can it read Word and PowerPoint files too?

Yes. PDFs, Word documents, slides, spreadsheets and images can all be attached.

Read a long document faster: ask questions about a PDF

The Draimo team30 September 2026

Short answer

Attach the document to a message in Draimo and ask your question: 'What is the notice period in this contract?' or 'Which chapters are examined?' Draimo reads the file and answers from it, and can quote the sentence it relied on. Once you sign in, you can attach one file per message on any plan; attaching several at once, and keeping files in your Library, are on paid plans.

Good questions to ask a document

Contracts and leases: notice periods, penalties, renewal terms, who pays for what.
Reports: the three findings that matter, and the numbers behind them.
Course outlines: what is examined, the weighting of each assessment, the deadlines.
Policies: whether a specific situation is covered, quoting the clause.
Anything in another language: ask in yours, and Draimo answers in yours.

Ask for the words, not only the summary

For anything you will act on, ask Draimo to quote the exact sentence it relied on, then find it in the document. A summary is quick; the quote is what you can hold someone to.

What it costs

Once signed in, you can attach one file per message on every plan. Attaching several files together, keeping them in the Library, and turning your work into Word, PowerPoint or PDF files are on paid plans. See plans and prices for your country.
