Getting Started with File Analysis

Important: Uploaded files must be text-based or OCR-processed to be properly analyzed by Paxton.

  1. Navigate to File Analysis: Look for the "File Analysis" on the Side Menu.

  1. Select Source: Select the single or multiple files you'd like to analyze.

  1. Create your Query or continue with an old conversation.

  2. Continue to chat with follow-up questions by you or Paxton.

  3. Review Results: If Paxton's results don't meet your expectations, try refining your query with different prompts or removing unnecessary source Files. Including specific details and jurisdictions will help Paxton generate a more accurate response.

Tips for Success

  • Paxton AI is able to support these file formats: .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, .xls, .pptx, .txt, .csv, .json, .html, .xml, .md, .markdown.

  • Paxton AI cannot process scanned PDFs where the text is not selectable. If the text within a PDF is not selectable, Paxton will be unable to recognize the file. We recommend converting the PDF to a text-based format, such as .docx, for processing.

  • Selecting only the files relevant to your query will ensure Paxton is able to process and extract a more percise answer.

  • Critically Evaluate AI-Generated Results: Although AI systems like Paxton deliver comprehensive legal information, it's essential to critically examine the outcomes.
