Review AskYourPdf?

Reviews praise AskYourPdf for fast, intuitive PDF Q&A, strong summaries, and recent UI improvements, including multi-document chat and a helpful GPT-4 plugin workflow. Students and researchers say it saves hours, surfaces quotes, and handles long papers better than abstracts. Power users applaud reliability and responsiveness, though some request clearer docs on limits, privacy/security details, and plugin usage. Critiques mention occasional upload failures, skipped content, OCR gaps on low-quality scans, and confusion over pricing/free claims. Overall, a time-saving tool with maturing features and room for transparency and robustness.

As a WWII researcher, I've got dozens of PDFs that have a low quality image. Using a conventional OCR program like Adobe Pro simply can't do the conversion, and the result is rubbish. AYP seemingly is a true advancement in OCR, and I hopeful the build for the upcoming Pro version will be awesome. I've experienced a few minor glitches, but my main problem is the website rejects the majority of the PDFs I'm trying to upload. I get an error massage that "the pdf file upload failed. Failed to process PDF file." These are all files that are far less than the 20MB limit, but there is no apparent way to contact support. I hope someone at AYP reads this and can help me figure out what is causing the error. Thanks!

Seamless and quick. I have been supporting similar apps on Product Hunt, but this one seems to have the least downtime (maybe no one knows about it), but the customer service and accuracy of the LLM. data model and prompts seem to be above the rest of them. I would surely pay in the future to be apart of something great. In the meantime, I am loving the process and how this product saved me hours of reading time for a 125 page document. Best of luck and much success in becoming the next unicorn in the space.

I discovered you via the GPT Plugin store. Love the website but would love more information on how to use the plugin. Thanks! Update: Upload your doc to askyourpdf.com/upload then copy paste the ID from the URL and send it in a chat with the askyourpdf plugin activated on chatgpt (e.g., prompt: Can you summarize the contents of the PDF associated with this ID 123456789?)

This is a useful, highly intuitive tool that works very well! A couple of use cases I've explored: Ask a service contract which services are covered and when payment is due. Ask an eBook to summarize a concept that's spread over several chapters. This is AI your mom could use, and I mean that in the best way!

I used this software for getting answers from various Trivia books. That way i can easily organize family game nights and ask questions from the app without having to go through the stress of browsing through for answers. I love it! Hopefully the free version remains effective in the long run.

AskYourPdf is great and special. I love the answer restriction to just the information in the document I uploaded. Thanks to the great minds that came up with this beautiful solution. Now I can scan through books and get the juice out quickly without going through the whole book.

As a chat GPT plugin, it seems to do the job. Even though more documentation would be nice to understand its limitations, and especially how it copes with GPT's own token length limitations.

Quite a substantial improvement in getting good answers from LLMs, especially for getting better summaries of papers than abstracts offer.

Did multiple tests and it got some of it right and other tests it just skipped a lot of the content inside the PDF. Sounds like early stage...
