How document Q&A works

Instead of reading a long document end to end, you ask it a question and get the answer back in seconds.

1. Upload your document

Drop in a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file, up to 10 MB. Resumes, contracts, reports, papers, policies, anything text-based.

2. Ask in plain English

Type your question. Rankid finds the passages most relevant to it and reads them for you.

3. Get a grounded answer

You get a direct answer based on the document's own text, then you can ask a follow-up to go deeper.

Why ask your documents questions?

Most documents are far longer than the answer you actually need. A contract is forty pages when your question is “what is the notice period?” A research paper is dense when you just want the method. Document Q&A turns any file into something you can simply ask, so you find the answer instead of hunting for it.

Recruiters use it to interrogate a resume against a role, students and researchers to query papers, and teams to pull specifics out of reports and policies. If you are hiring, pair it with our free resume checker and bulk resume screening.

  • Get answers grounded in the document, not generic guesses
  • Skip the skim: ask the exact question you care about
  • Works on PDF, Word, and text files up to 10 MB
  • Ask follow-ups to dig deeper into the same document

Frequently asked questions

Is the document Q&A really free?

Yes. Your first question is completely free and needs no account or credit card. You upload a document, type a question, and get an instant answer drawn from the text. To ask more questions you create a free account, which comes with free monthly credits.

How does AI document Q&A work?

Rankid reads your uploaded document, finds the passages most relevant to your question, and uses them to generate a direct answer in plain English. Because the answer is grounded in your document's own text, you get a specific response instead of a generic one.

What types of documents can I ask questions about?

PDF, DOCX (Word), and TXT files up to 10 MB. It works for resumes, contracts, research papers, reports, policies, manuals, and any other text-based document. For the most accurate answers, use a text-based file rather than a scanned image.

Can I chat with a PDF and ask follow-up questions?

Yes. After your first answer you can ask another question about the same document to dig deeper. Logged-out visitors get one free question per browser; with a free account you can ask as many questions as your credits allow, at one credit per question.

Is my document kept private?

Your document is processed to answer your question and is not used to train any model. Uploads are handled securely and the free trial persists nothing to your account.
