We've built ChatGPT for your pdf files

My friends and I were really excited to try out ChatGPT when it was released. We were amazed by its power and capabilities. We were thinking how great it would be if people could use ChatGPT to ask questions from their own data. So me and my friends had decided to build such a tool. We are delighted to announce that we are releasing a public beta of our tool> After you upload all your pdf files into it. It can search for relevant documents without perfect keyword match, summarize takeaways from the document specific to your question, and extract key information from the document. It can help…

The tool assists with brainstorming and document summarization tasks.

Background: When ChatGPT came out, I had the idea of having it pull answers from my stereo receiver's annoyingly dense 32 page manual.
