When I first saw ChatPDF, I started thinking of all the possibilities and couldn’t wait to try it! I put in websites and I can ask it anything; it responds with a fantastic analysis; it even summarizes beautifully! However, I really wanted to tests the limits to see what ChatPDF could really do.
I uploaded a 31-page PDF that I’ve already read and asked some questions. I was very impressed when it started regurgitating information from the PDF. However, it wasn’t able to answer some of the questions I asked, even though I knew the answers were in there; I even found the answers in the document first and then asked questions in the simplest terms using the language in the document, but to no avail. Even when I got a mostly-correct answer, it started to use the wrong acronyms, which I thought was a little strange. It used an acronym in the document correctly in the first answer, but every answer after that was missing a letter in the acronym.
Overall, the concept is amazing and I think ChatPDF is indeed revolutionary! That said, it does have its limits right now. Of course, with having information manually fed into it, and having to convert PDF to text, I figured it was bound to have issues. However, if it continuously improves, ChatPDF will become an essential. I’d love to come back and give it a 5-star rating someday. Please keep up the amazing work!
