Ask about what you are reading
Stuck on a paragraph, or not sure you followed the argument? Ask. ContextCat answers from the document you are reading.
Questions about the text
Ask about the whole document or about the paragraph you are on. The answer is built from the pages of the document, so it talks about your text, not the topic in general.
Type the question, or tap the microphone and say it. Each document keeps its own conversations, so you can come back to one later.
Quiz me
Ask for a quiz on a paragraph and you get a few short questions on what it says, with the answer explained. It is a quick way to check you understood, not just decoded.
Where it works
