Chat GPT Ask Your PDF: How Argil is Revolutionizing PDF Management

‍

ChatGPT was the first step in the revolution that AI represents.

‍

The success of it’s adoption showed 2 things:

‍

• AI got a bright future.
• The conversational UI is the best.

‍

Based on these 2 factors, what’s next?

The role of AI is to provide outputs based on inputs.

‍

The output GPT gives is text, and the inputs are:

‍

• The context.

• The question.

‍

The logical next steps is to use the power of AI to interact with different context format, and ultimately give different format outputs.

‍

How many companies use PDF as a base of their context? Most…

‍

The current level of data in the form of PDF is massive, and it’s an untapped potential in the realm of AI. That’s why we saw in the last few weeks the rise of ‘ChatGPT ask your pdf’ type of products.

‍

You upload a PDF and you ask your questions, the AI will search on the PDF and answer. The current results are scattered, people are not convinced yet.

‍

In this article we’ll explore how Argil is revolutionizing the chat GPT ask your pdf vision of data management.

‍

Understanding the Challenge with PDFs

‍

PDF’s are self-sufficient source of information, their format make’s it difficult to use it as a base of interaction.

‍

To go faster in their analysis you got 2 things:

‍

• Control +F.
• The table of content.

‍

Managing information inside a PDF is daunting, and complex which is exactly why the need of a new solution, revolutionary in it’s essence was important.

‍

The efficient finding of informations is not the only challenge.

‍

The other one is the fact that each company got dozens if not hundreds of pdfs. Some of them covers the same concept, thus if you want a complete context you’ll need to gather information from multiple sources.

‍

ChatGPT ask your PDF tackles both these issues:

‍

• Cross-PDF context.
• Similarity instant gathering of the right information.

‍

This new version adds a layer of interactivity in the interaction with your data.

‍

Unveiling the 'Ask Your PDF' Solution

‍

OpenAI understood the importance of this multi-context and multi format interaction with AI. Which is why they launched the plugin features, giving permission to people to build their own use-case of AI X chatgpt.

‍

This is how the plugin ChatGPT Ask Your PDF saw the lights of the day, but as it’s an outsourced feature it’s quality is super questionable.

‍

On top of that many people noticed that it does not always work. You can’t for example use the answer to the previous question as a base for the following one.

‍

What people really want as a solution for the ChatGPT ask your pdf is the following:

‍

• Conversational interaction.
• Efficient information extraction.
• Various PDFs as base of context.
• Contextual understanding and follow-up questions.
• Multilingual Support, international brand documentation.

‍

Unfortunately the existing plugin does not answer these needs.

‍

This is why at Argil we decided to build our version of the ChatGPT ask your pdf plugin.

‍
