Everything you need to know about using Envolved to chat with your documents.
Envolved is an AI-powered document assistant that lets you have conversations with your documents. Upload files, import from URLs, or connect cloud storage - then ask questions and get answers with citations back to your source material.
Traditional AI chatbots answer from their training data (essentially, "the internet"). Envolved answers ONLY from your uploaded documents. Every response includes citations you can click to verify - so you know exactly where information came from. No hallucinations, no made-up facts, just grounded answers from your content.
No. If you can upload a file and type a question, you can use Envolved. The complex AI technology runs behind the scenes - you just have conversations.
Most documents are ready within 1-5 minutes. Factors that affect timing:
Yes, though text-based PDFs work better. Scanned PDFs rely on OCR (text recognition), which may affect accuracy.
Some sites block automated access. Login-required pages and dynamically-loaded content may not work. If a URL fails, try a different page from the same site or save the content as a PDF.
A Stream is a collection of related documents that you can chat with together. When you ask questions, Envolved searches all documents in that stream.
Stream Groups are folders for organizing your streams. Use them to group related projects, clients, or topics.

Use Standard for quick questions, escalate to deeper modes when needed.
Live Mode lets you talk to your documents instead of typing. Tap the microphone, speak your question, and hear the answer - hands-free.
No. Live Mode uses automatic voice detection. Just speak naturally and pause when done.
Yes. Start speaking anytime to cut off the assistant's response. This is called "barge-in."
