PDF-QA is a local app through which you can interact with a PDF document using a chatbot-style interface. It uses Langchain, Gradio and OpenAI's GPT models to allow the user to ask questions related to the document's content and receive informative responses.
Before running the application, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:
- Python 3.x
- Required packages listed in
requirements.txt:pip install -r requirements.txt - OpenAI API key: Obtain your API key from OpenAI. For further instructions, refer here
Note: Keep your OpenAI API key safe and save it locally
- After cloning the repository, on a terminal, run the following command:
python main.py - You should see something like this on your terminal:
Running on local URL: http://127.0.0.1:7860
To create a public link, set `share=True` in `launch()`.
Click on the local URL to use the interface locally
- Copy your OpenAI API key in text box that says "Enter your OpenAI API Key".
- Upload your PDF and ask any questions about using the textbox!
Note:
These chatbots can be made a lot more powerful in many ways:
- Using a fine-tuned model for the specific task or domain of your requirement
- Using techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
- This also runs on a localhost server as opposed to running on a server on the cloud.
Feel free to fork and edit it to your own liking and reach out if needed!
