## How document chat should answer

### Ground answers in the uploaded file

A document chat tool should answer from the file, not from general model memory. If the file does not contain the answer, it should say so clearly.

### Preserve useful context

PDF and DOCX extraction can lose headings, tables, and page context. Good systems keep source metadata so answers can be checked.

### Use it as a support preview

Document chat is a quick way to test whether a guide, policy, or manual can support self-serve answers before adding it to a production chatbot.

### FAQ

			  Can I chat with a PDF?

Yes, as long as the text can be extracted from the PDF.

			  Should document chat store my file?

For production use, storage and retention should be explicit. Free tools should disclose limits and privacy behavior.
