About pdfAssistant.ai

pdfAssistant.ai is an AI-powered no-code platform for PDF workflow automation. It enables users to create reusable workflows by chaining 40+ PDF operations (merge, split, compress, redact, convert, watermark, etc.) using simple natural language commands. The platform features AI Studio for one-off conversational tasks like summarizing contracts or generating PDFs, and supports MCP integration for use inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Codex. Built on Adobe PDF Library and pdfRest, with OpenAI for NLP, it provides enterprise-grade security: TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, auto-deletion within 24 hours, no AI training on user documents, and SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Freemium pricing starts with a free tier (400 monthly credits) and scales up for teams, with extra credits available as one-time purchases.
