Plain answers about Plainsight

Short, honest answers to what people ask before they trust a tool with a document that matters.

Is Plainsight really free?
Yes. Understanding your document is free, with no account and no upsell. An optional drafting feature may be offered at a flat fee, but the substance of an analysis is never placed behind a payment — and money never changes what the tool tells you.
What happens to my document? Is it private?
Your document is read once to produce your analysis and then discarded — never stored afterward, never sold, and never used to train any AI model. If you upload a photo or scan, it is read by an OCR engine that runs on our own server, so the image itself is not sent to any outside company. The only thing transmitted is the text needed to generate your analysis, to an AI processor configured not to retain it or train on it.
How do I know it won't just make something up?
This is built in, not promised. After the AI produces your analysis, a separate automatic step re-reads every deadline date it surfaces and every quote attributed to your document, and removes any it cannot find in your own document. That check runs in ordinary code, not the AI, so it cannot be talked out of it — when something can't be grounded, you get a blank to fill in rather than a confident guess. It can't catch everything (for example, a date mentioned in the general explanation rather than as a deadline), so always check anything important — especially dates and figures — against the document itself.
Is this legal advice? Are you a law firm?
No. Plainsight is an informational tool — not a law firm, not a lawyer, and not a medical or financial professional. It explains what a document says and what options people commonly consider, and it tells you plainly when your situation needs a real professional. Using it does not create an attorney–client relationship, and it never files or sends anything for you.
How is this different from pasting my document into ChatGPT?
A general chatbot will answer, but it can confidently state a deadline, statute, or dollar figure that isn't in your document, its output depends on how you prompt it, and on its free tier your document may be retained and used to improve the model. Plainsight is built for this one job: every red flag is tied to the exact line it came from, it refuses facts it can't ground, it always returns the same structured brief, and it reads your document once and discards it.
What kinds of documents can it read?
Leases, insurance denials, medical bills, employment documents, debt-collection notices, loan agreements, terms of service, benefits denials, legal notices, and even a bill before the legislature. It detects the type automatically, or you can choose it. You can paste the text or upload a PDF, a Word file, or a photo.
Can it write a reply or appeal letter for me?
When you're ready to act, Plainsight can draft a letter grounded only in your document — a dispute, a question, an appeal. It fills anything personal with blanks for you to complete, and you review every line and send it yourself, in your own name. It's a drafting aid, not a lawyer, and it never sends or files anything.
What if my document has a deadline?
Plainsight surfaces deadlines first, because a missed one is how most people lose. But always confirm any date against the document itself, and if a court date or legal deadline is involved, treat the analysis as a starting point and get a real professional — don't rely on the tool alone when a deadline, money, or your rights are at stake.
Who's behind Plainsight, and how does it stay independent?
Plainsight is governed by two rules: money may change who can do more with the tool, but never what the tool tells you; and aggregate insight flows only toward the people it was built to help, never toward the institutions on the other side. It takes no advertising, no referral kickbacks, and no payment from the companies whose documents it explains.
