/chat/) is a thread list plus a conversation. It is not the Chat tab on a document.
Start a thread
- + New Chat opens an empty thread (workflow Extract workspace by default).
- Open in chat on a batch creates a thread with that batch already attached (workflow Extract batch analysis).
Unknown workflow values fall back to Extract workspace. Deep Reader and legacy financial chats never appear in this list.
Attach context
In a thread you can:- Upload a PDF or image (same 64 MB rule).
- Link a document you already have.
- Attach a batch from the picker. The assistant sees the live extraction grid — schema, rows, edited cells, tables.
Analytics questions
When a batch is attached, you can ask statistical questions: totals, counts, filters, grouping. The assistant writes read-only SQL against a snapshot of the current grid. A reprocess or a cell edit is visible on the next turn. There is no sync button. Answers can name the source document and page. For a single-file question, prefer Deep Reader.Chat spend is billed to the person asking, even when the attached batch belongs to a teammate.
What Chat is not
- It does not replace the schema builder’s own AI column.
- It does not run standalone “Summarize” or “Analyze” templates. Those tabs do not exist.
- Spreadsheet SQL over an uploaded
.xlsx/.csvis coming soon — those files cannot be uploaded until digital documents are enabled.
