AskYourPDF: Extract Information from PDFs and Textbooks with Ease

AskYourPDF is a remarkable ChatGPT plugin that we had the opportunity to test extensively. This plugin harnesses the power of natural language processing to enable users to have interactive conversations with PDF documents. Its primary purpose is to assist in extracting information from PDFs, allowing users to effortlessly find answers to their questions based on the document's content. Whether you're a student conducting research, a professional seeking specific details in a report, or simply an individual eager to explore the contents of a PDF, AskYourPDF proves to be an invaluable tool.

To begin utilizing AskYourPDF, there are two simple methods available. Firstly, you can search for the plugin in the ChatGPT store and install it directly. Alternatively, you can click the "try it" button located at the top right of this page to initiate a chat session with AskYourPDF already activated.

Once you have successfully installed AskYourPDF, querying PDF documents becomes effortless. There are two approaches you can take. The first method involves using a URL that links directly to your desired PDF document. By inputting your inquiry or prompt in the dialogue box, followed by the URL, AskYourPDF will utilize the content of the PDF to provide you with relevant answers.

The second method involves uploading a local PDF file. Simply visit www.askyourpdf.com/upload in your web browser, where you can find an easy-to-use interface. Click on the "Upload" button, select the PDF file stored on your device, and proceed with the upload. After completion, you will receive a unique document ID. Copy this ID, return to the ChatGPT interface, enter your question or prompt in the dialogue box, and paste the document ID just as you would with a URL. AskYourPDF will then utilize the uploaded PDF document to generate accurate responses.

To help you get started, we have prepared two prompt examples that showcase the versatility of AskYourPDF. The first example demonstrates how you can ask for a summary of a specific chapter within a document, simply by providing the URL or document ID. For instance: "What is the summary of chapter 3 in this document? [insert URL or document ID here]".

The second example showcases how you can query specific details, such as identifying the main character within a story. Again, you can use the URL or document ID in your inquiry. For example: "Who is the main character in this story? [insert URL or document ID here]".

Using AskYourPDF will undoubtedly enhance your interactions with PDF documents, making them more efficient and enjoyable. Take advantage of its impressive capabilities and enjoy exploring the world of AskYourPDF for ChatGPT!
