What is Petal?
Petal is not just another document tool—it's your intelligent co-pilot for knowledge work. Built for researchers, scientists, and professionals who juggle dense, technical, or multilingual documents daily, Petal transforms static files into dynamic, conversational resources. Using proprietary generative AI trained on domain-aware models, Petal lets you ask natural-language questions—and get precise, citation-backed answers pulled *only* from your uploaded materials. Go beyond reading: interrogate, distill, translate, rewrite, and cross-reference—effortlessly. Whether it’s a 200-page clinical trial report or a stack of patent filings, Petal turns complexity into clarity—in seconds.
How to use Petal?
Getting started takes under a minute: sign up, log in, and drag-and-drop your PDFs, Word docs, slides, or spreadsheets into Petal’s encrypted cloud workspace. No manual tagging or setup required—our AI instantly parses structure, extracts key entities (people, dates, metrics, concepts), and indexes content contextually. From there, simply type like you’re talking to a colleague: “Compare methodology sections across these three papers,” “Summarize findings relevant to biomarker X,” or “Translate this abstract into Spanish and draft a lay summary.” Highlight insights, assign action items, share annotated views via secure links, and use the AI Table to filter, sort, and contrast dozens of documents using plain English—not SQL or spreadsheets. Petal adapts to *your* workflow—not the other way around.
