Scan. Understand. Ask. — All on your device. XYLO turns any document into an instant AI summary and lets you have a conversation about it. Scan a receipt, upload a contract, photograph meeting notes — XYLO extracts the text, breaks it down, and answers your follow-up questions. No internet. No servers. No data ever leaves your phone. --- SCAN & UPLOAD --- Scan any document or import a PDF from your files. XYLO uses Apple Vision to extract every word with precision. Supports receipts, contracts, memos, reports, letters, news articles, and more. --- INTELLIGENT SUMMARIES --- XYLO doesn't just summarize — it structures. Get organized sections with bullet points, checklists, key-value pairs, and data tables automatically detected from your document. Action items are highlighted. Important dates, names, and amounts are called out. --- ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS --- Tap "Ask" to start a conversation with your document. "What are the key deadlines?" "Who are the parties involved?" "What is the penalty clause?" XYLO finds the most relevant sections and gives you an accurate, grounded answer — with page citations. Smart follow-up suggestions keep the conversation going. All chats are saved on-device. --- SMART DOCUMENT INTELLIGENCE --- XYLO automatically detects document type, tone, and audience. It extracts names, organizations, dates, monetary amounts, and flags sensitive information like phone numbers or email addresses — all displayed in a beautiful intelligence dashboard. --- COMPARE DOCUMENTS --- Select any two documents from your history and compare them side by side — differences in tone, content, and structure highlighted instantly. --- POWERED BY APPLE INTELLIGENCE --- On supported devices (8 GB+), XYLO uses Apple Intelligence for instant document analysis — no downloads, no waiting.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EquateAccess at none against XYLO's 1. EquateAccess also leads on chart position (#139 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (14 vs 26.0). XYLO's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
