Questions before you start

Rainbow Roadmap is an independent AI reading and knowledge base product. Ask about ready PDFs, check page citations and connect reading with notes and mind maps.

Each question retrieves a limited set of relevant excerpts. It does not promise a page-by-page reading of the whole file. Check important conclusions against the source.

The single-PDF panel shows the current answer. Member folder Q&A supports follow-ups in the current page session; refreshing does not promise restored chat history.

AI access and credits follow your current account plan. Successful answers use the configured credit price. Folder Q&A also requires membership; check access and cost before starting.

Scans need extractable text and a ready index; OCR results are not guaranteed. Members can ask about EPUBs in a folder with chapter citations.

Continue in your workspace

Your documents, canvas and maps belong in one workflow.
