Seance AI vs FileGPT

Seance AI lets you build a chat profile for someone you miss, then hold a text conversation that mimics how they wrote and spoke. You add personality traits, relationships, writing samples, and topics, and the app generates a simulated dialogue you can revisit or share with family.

Unlike generic grief chatbots, Seance AI walks you through a six-step setup (who they were, how they wrote, what to discuss) before opening the conversation. Premium adds voice recreation and animated portraits with subtle eye and head movement. The site is clear this is simulated entertainment, not real spirit contact.

Built by AE Studio, Seance AI targets people processing loss who want a creative outlet rather than a therapist. Early access is free with one-month conversation storage; Google sign-in handles account access.

FileGPT turns PDFs, Word files, text documents, audio, YouTube videos, and webpages into a searchable knowledge base you can question in plain language. Upload sources into collections, pick the files you need, and get answers that pull from every selected document at once. A free tier is available, with paid plans sold on yearly billing and priced in monthly token allotments.

Tools like ChatPDF focus on a single PDF at a time. FileGPT's cross-source querying lets you select multiple files and webpages and merge them into one answer, which helps when research spans separate reports or lecture notes. Pro adds OCR for handwritten pages, audio and video parsing, and unstructured PDF handling that basic single-file viewers skip.

Students, researchers, program managers, and data workers who juggle long readings and mixed media sources are the target users on the pricing page. The site highlights history majors writing reading responses, managers consolidating online content, and analysts who would rather query a file stack than scroll page by page.
