FlexFiles

You start with any of the free tools: pick a converter or the PDF editor, upload a file and download the result. Conversions accept files up to 5 GB on every plan, and signed-out conversions are deleted about 2 hours later.

With a free account you get a workspace where files can be organised into folders and indexed for the AI Document Assistant. Once documents are indexed you ask questions in plain language, follow up in the same conversation, and open the cited sources to see which passages an answer came from. Compare templates pull the same fields out of several documents into one table, such as a contract's effective date, expiry, notice period and auto-renewal.

On paid plans you can share a guest upload link so clients, vendors or job applicants send files into a chosen folder without workspace access. Those uploads can be indexed right away. Workflows chain existing tools, for example OCR, flatten and compress, into a pipeline you run on many files in batch or trigger automatically when files land in a folder, with per-step status for every file.

• •AI Document Assistant - Indexes workspace documents and answers questions with citations, combining keyword and semantic search. Supports follow-up questions, saved searches and compare templates that extract the same fields from several documents side by side.
• •AI Action Assistant - On Pro and Business, a chat and voice assistant that organises files, creates folders and guest links, drafts workflow steps and starts indexing, checking permissions and asking for confirmation before acting.
• •Workflows - Chain tools such as OCR, flatten and compress into a repeatable pipeline, run it in batch, track queued, running, completed or failed steps, and optionally run it whenever files arrive in a folder. Included from Starter up.
• •Guest Upload Intake - Controlled upload links with expiry and password let outside people submit files into a chosen folder. An HR example routes resumes into a Hiring Suite where each candidate gets a fit score out of 100 with the evidence behind it.
• •PDF Editor and Converters - 26 free tools for PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and image formats, including OCR, compress, merge, protect, unlock, repair and background removal, with daily limits that rise on paid plans.
• •Signature Requests - Send documents to signers in sequence or in parallel and receive a signed, locked PDF, with request quotas, reminders and signer email verification on higher plans.

FlexFiles fits individuals who mainly need free PDF conversion and editing but want to ask questions about their documents without moving to another tool. The free plan includes a small weekly AI quota of 15 questions and 75 indexed pages, enough to try the assistant on real files.

Small teams that handle a steady flow of contracts, invoices or policies are the main paid audience. Operations and legal staff can compare renewal terms across contracts and cite the clause, finance staff can run OCR and compression pipelines on scanned invoices before archiving, and HR teams can collect resumes through a guest link and shortlist applicants against a role. The Business plan adds team members, projects and shared access for workspaces used by several people.

It is less suited to developers looking for an API: the pricing table lists API access and webhooks as not included on any self-serve plan.
