Scribd, Inc., the writing platform, has released a beta version of an AI tool that it says will allow users to research and access content on Scribd. 

The new release, Ask AI, will enhance the customer experience for the Scribd and Everand brands, the firm says. 

The goal is to help users “uncover insights and discover new content effortlessly, bringing a new level of personalization and efficiency to their digital journeys,” says Beck Kloss, chief product officer and chief technology officer at Scribd, Inc. 

The new product is available to select users via web, mobile web, and mobile apps.

With Ask AI, users can ask questions and get answers about specific documents on Scribd via an AI-powered chat interface that can analyze documents up to 1,000 pages in length.

Everand users can ask queries and receive personalized recommendations. Everand is the destination for millions of magazine, ebooks, audiobooks and magazines, the company says. 

Ask AI provides publishing partners with increased deliverability and author visibility, it adds. 

Kloss comments, “With Ask AI, we're not just improving the user experience; we're beginning to redefine it.” 

Scribd provides access to content across three products: Everand, Scribd, and Slideshare.
