More features: formatting, actual chat, and show PDF

Open kpatdev opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

I wanted to see if we could improve the current feature set. The following is what I have in mind:

  • Add formatting to answer (new line between each citation, make the citations go from [4] to [Page 4] and make them a different color so they stand out (making it easy to reference)
  • Have an actual chat-like interface (think humata, chatpdf)
  • Show the actual pdf side-by-side (and maybe the citations in the answers can link to the page in the pdf viewer making it easy to reference)

These features would be dope. I'm looking into working on it myself but I know there's people more talented that could look into this

Thank you for your interesting suggestions. I have added all of them in my checklist and will soon comeup with the next release. I am also planning to integrate results from different sources like Alpaca, lLama and hopefully Google bard (I am in the wait list). Will come up with an improved interface soon.

Awesome. A couple other things that could be useful:

  • multi pdf support (and being able to chat with multiple pdfs)
  • implement redis as vector db (keeps things selfhosted, rather than having to use pinecone, chroma, etc)

Just as a question, is there currently a limit to the pdf (page # or actual size) that can be uploaded?

no there is no limit. However, until the current code is optimized with a vectorDB there will be a tradeoff with the performance

Awesome! This + adding new lines between each citation would make readability of the answers much better (especially longer answers).

Have any of you coded anything on this? @dezerving @bhaskatripathi @deepankarm @Jeffrey95 @taherfattahi

Seems like the project is dead.

@magedhelmy1 - it is not dead, but I am not getting time these days. Will resume it from next month. I welcome you as a contributor.

I build a simple Mac pdf reader based on this project and it has chat memories. It also shows pdf side by side. You can check it out: https://github.com/Yiiipu/SimplePDF

This is really cool. I like the way that this looks. Any way to have it be a webapp so it can just be hosted as a container somewhere? Something like https://github.com/Anil-matcha/ChatPDF.
