Foxit AI Assistant is an intelligent tool designed to improve productivity and streamline how you work with digital documents. Powered by ChatGPT, it helps users interact more efficiently with PDFs through natural language. The AI Assistant is available in both the Foxit PDF Reader/Editor and the Foxit AI web portal at ai.foxit.com, allowing flexible access anytime, from a browser. 

This manual covers all features available at ai.foxit.com and the AI Assistant embedded in the Foxit PDF Editor across Windows, macOS, mobile, and the cloud (hereafter referred to as the “Foxit PDF Editor”). For simplicity, both ai.foxit.com and the AI Assistant within the Foxit PDF Editor will be collectively referred to as “Foxit AI Assistant”.
