The problem Chat with your PDF solves
Reading lengthy PDFs or extracting specific information from documents can be time-consuming and tedious. “Chat with your PDF” simplifies that process by allowing users to upload a PDF and instantly start chatting with an intelligent bot that understands and summarizes the content.
It can be used by students to understand textbooks, by professionals to extract info from reports, and by researchers to quickly analyze papers.
No more endless scrolling — just ask, and get answers instantly.
Challenges I ran into
One major challenge was parsing PDF data into a format suitable for conversational AI.
PDFs have inconsistent formatting, and extracting clean, structured text was difficult.
We solved this by using reliable Python libraries (like PyMuPDF or pdfplumber) and applying preprocessing to remove artifacts.
Another challenge was managing context across multiple queries — resolved by storing parsed content in embeddings and querying it using semantic search (e.g., via LangChain + OpenAI embeddings).
UI integration for smooth file uploads and real-time response handling also took a few iterations.
