pdfGPT

Problem Description :

  • When you pass a large text to Open AI, it suffers from a 4K token limit. It cannot take an entire pdf file as an input
  • Open AI sometimes becomes overtly chatty and returns irrelevant response not directly related to your query. This is because Open AI uses poor embeddings.
  • ChatGPT cannot directly talk to external data.

Solution: What is PDF GPT ?

  • PDF GPT allows you to chat with an uploaded PDF file using GPT functionalities.
  • The application intelligently breaks the document into smaller chunks and employs a powerful Deep Averaging Network Encoder to generate embeddings.
  • A semantic search is first performed on your pdf content and the most relevant embeddings are passed to the Open AI.
  • A custom logic generates precise responses. The returned response can even cite the page number in square brackets([]) where the information is located, adding credibility to the responses and helping to locate pertinent information quickly. The Responses are much better than the naive responses by Open AI.
