LLMs

Claude

Its shortcoming is you can not maintain a longer conversation and are instead forced to start a new conversation with your same documents.

External Applications

Review: Dante is currently the best AI PDF tool available on the market. It allows users to create knowledge bases with multiple documents and have conversations with a chatbot that utilizes the knowledge from both GPT3.5/4 and the documents. Dante prioritizes information security, offering internal sharing access within companies. It also provides reliable support teams. In the future, we would like a visualization tool to display the source of information within the documents.

PDF.ai

Rating: 🍵🍵

Review: PDF.ai is an AI-powered service that enables users to interact with PDF documents in a conversational and visual manner. When it works it offers functionalities such as asking questions, getting summaries, and finding information from the documents. Users can also easily upload their PDF documents and access the service through a Chrome extension. The problem is it frequently breaks for no apparent reason. It also is currently run by one person which makes support fairly non-existent. Should the application become more reliable and there is more support for the enterprise there is strong potential in the future.

ChatGPT Plugins

These plugins, while suitable for simple use cases, may not be the most practical options for a comprehensive service.
