📎 Upload a document — uses your document as private context · How this works

Upload one text-based PDF, DOCX, TXT, or Markdown file and ask a question about it. Your file is private context for this answer, not legal authority.

PDFs may have up to 100 pages. Files may be up to 20 MiB and 200,000 extracted characters; over-limit files are rejected rather than shortened. Your account’s current file maximum is 20 MiB.

Scanned PDFs, corrupt or password-protected files, unsafe DOCX files, empty files, and unsupported formats fail closed.

LawEngine sends extracted text to its model provider to prepare this answer, then requests deletion from private active storage. The file and answer are temporary. This answer is not saved. How document data is handled.
