Not an OCR shop
You get one Markdown file. Keep it. Use it in Claude tomorrow, ChatGPT next week, a search index whenever.
You do not make every chat re-read the same PDF.
We do not sell you a pile of engines. We sell you the file.
The rule
Never invoke a more expensive or destructive interpretation method when the source document already contains reliable information.
We don’t invent a page that already knows how to talk.
How you use it
- Open Claude. (We built for that first. Other agents work too.)
- Hand it the PDF.
- Get Markdown back.
- Keep it.
What you get
-
Pictures
Figures pulled out and kept with the file.
-
A structured copy
Same document, as data, if you need it.
-
Notes
What was already in the file, and what we had to read.
Plans
Billed in pages, each month.
Same Markdown on every plan. Higher plans buy room and extras, not a better file.
Free
Try it.
A small pile of pages. When they’re gone, it stops.
