Documentation on free PDF-based Q&A

and Procedure for Chatbot Implementation

1. Introduction
With the increasing digitization of documents, there is a growing need for tools that can
intelligently process these documents and allow users to interact with them through natural
language queries. These tools leverage Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Natural
Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning to extract data and provide meaningful
answers based on the document content.

2. Key Technologies Involved


- OCR (Optical Character Recognition): Converts scanned images or PDFs into machine-
readable text.

- NLP (Natural Language Processing): Understands and interprets human language queries.

- AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning): Powers the reasoning, search, and
response generation.

3. Popular Tools and Platforms

ChatPDF
Function: Upload PDF and ask questions about it.

Tech: Uses OpenAI’s language models for conversational answers.

Pros: Very simple, no login required for basic usage.

Cons: Limited pages/questions in free tier.

Humata.ai
Function: Allows interactive Q&A with documents, summarization, citation references.

Pros: Fast, supports multiple files, good UI.

Cons: Paid for heavy usage.

PDFGPT.io
Function: Upload PDF and chat with it.

Pros: Privacy-focused, works directly in browser.
