- wpasc 3mo agoFor sure there are very optimized ways to do it. My point is that a non technical user will drag and drop a pdf into a chatbot. and from a UX/product perspective, they should have to think about it more than that IMO. but seemingly, that's very much an expensive, inefficient way of doing it (burning through a whole context window try to read it, reloading it multiple times per conversation, etc.).
- seemaze 3mo agoAbsolutely this. Never try to parse a native PDF document with any expectation of coherence or consistency.
