The AI chatbot possesses the capability to do searches, provide concise summaries, and generate PDF documents through the use of several convenient plug-ins.
The ChatGPT, an AI bot developed by OpenAI, has been actively engaged in assisting authors, participating in debates, writing code, and performing many other tasks. With the recent introduction of third-party plug-in support by OpenAI, a plethora of other functionalities have been accessible.
These plug-ins have the capability to retrieve information from the internet, create visual representations, organise trip arrangements, query the Wikipedia database, and perform more functions. In order to utilise the diverse range of plug-ins, it is necessary to own a current subscription to ChatGPT Plus, which incurs a monthly fee of $20. In this discussion, our attention will be directed towards a specific category of extension. PDF plug-ins are software extensions that enhance the functionality of PDF (Portable Document Format) files.
ChatGPT and its associated plug-ins offer efficient solutions for swiftly searching, summarising, and retrieving information from various files. In order to access plug-ins, users may initiate a new chat session within the ChatGPT interface. Within this session, they should pick GPT-4 and proceed to the top menu options, where they can find the Plug-Ins feature. To access a list of currently installed plug-ins, please click on the little icon located below the header. Subsequently, scroll down until you reach the section labelled “Plug-In Store” in order to discover and explore new plug-ins.
AI PDF
Ai PDF offers the feature of “super-fast, interactive chats” and requires users to provide ChatGPT with the web URL of a PDF in order to use its help. In the event that achieving the aforementioned objective is unattainable, the plug-in provides a PDF upload feature, therefore enabling users to examine documents that are kept on their personal computers.
Subsequently, the process mostly involves allowing the plug-in to do an analysis of the PDF document that has been sent, followed by posing inquiries to ChatGPT pertaining to various aspects such as the document’s underlying assumptions, its findings, or particular details included within. Inquiries can be made regarding the stylistic elements employed in the PDF document, as well as any pertinent information that may have been excluded.
One notable aspect of Ai PDF is its ability to accurately reference specific pages inside a PDF document while generating summaries and providing answers to questions. This capability allows users to verify the functionality of the plug-in with confidence. In addition, it is possible to inquire ChatGPT for specific excerpts from the document in order to substantiate its responses.
RequestYourPDF (AskYourPDF)
The nomenclature of this plug-in exemplifies its intention to foster a natural and conversational rapport between users and their PDF documents. It purports to enhance the potential of PDFs by granting ChatGPT the ability to access and use any PDF file provided to it.
In the event that your PDF files are not already accessible online, AskYourPDF offers the capability to upload them on your behalf. Consequently, you will be able to submit inquiries via ChatGPT for further analysis and discussion. Users have the ability to request specific facts from particular parts, obtain overviews and summaries, request the rewriting of specific portions, and generally utilise the full range of capabilities offered by ChatGPT when working with normal text blocks.
The plug-in has a strong ability to effectively address subsequent inquiries, enabling users to seek more elucidation on previously discussed matters or ascertain the specific location within a PDF document from which an answer was derived.
Doc Creator (Doc Maker)
In that it is more concerned with creating PDFs than with querying them, Doc Maker provides something a little different. Naturally, there are plenty of tools available for this task, but adding ChatGPT into the mix may be beneficial in a number of ways.
This is how it operates: You tell Doc Maker what kind of PDF you want to produce, and ChatGPT assists you in creating it. Perhaps you have a newsletter to finish, a financial report to put together, or a resume to put together. You can either use AI to produce the text the plug-in requires, or it will prompt you for it.
Give Doc Maker and ChatGPT access to the text, and in a matter of seconds, you may have a summary in PDF format for meeting minutes that you need to type up, for instance. Along with all of ChatGPT’s text-generating features, you now have a simple option to convert that text into a standard format that can be shared.
ScholarAI
If one’s primary engagement involves extensively perusing scientific publications in PDF format, then ScholarAI would undoubtedly be a ChatGPT plug-in that has significant appeal. This platform provides users with the ability to access a vast collection of over 40 million peer-reviewed publications in PDF format sourced from various online platforms. Users have the option to either search for specific papers individually or do a comprehensive search over the whole database.
To start the research process, it is advisable to commence by doing a literature search for scholarly articles pertaining to a given subject matter, with a focus on recent publications from the current year or within a designated timeframe. Subsequently, one may employ ScholarAI to examine distinct facets of a given scholarly article, encompassing the provision of summaries for various portions and inquiries regarding the employed experimental methodologies, among other elements. Simultaneously, ChatGPT has the capability to incorporate additional contextual information that is not explicitly mentioned in the document.
ScholarAI has been developed with the objective of reducing the occurrence of erroneous hallucinations in ChatGPT, while also ensuring that its responses are substantiated by robust research. One can get the plug-in that facilitates hyperlinking to the online paper and citing certain lines from it, so enabling the verification of provided responses.
