Going through PDFs can be tedious at times, particularly when you’re looking for a specific piece of information. If you’re researching a topic and have a long list of books, articles, and papers to go through, you’ll like the new feature that OpenAI just added to its chatbot. Initially a feature of the paid chatbot, GPT-4o, the free version of Chat GPT now allows users to upload PDFs. Users can then ask questions about the PDF or get the chatbot to summarise it. Let’s take a look at how you can use ChatGPT to analyse PDFs for free.

How you can use this feature
Summarisation is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about ChatGPT’s newest feature. But there are a lot of ways you can use this feature to your advantage. If you’re an academic, you can use ChatGPT to make the task of literature review much easier. By uploading books, research papers, articles, and other PDFs, you can ask the chatbot to summarise them as well as give novel insights about the subject matter in relation to your research topic.
You can also upload multiple PDFs to ChatGPT and get the chatbot to carry out a comparative analysis of the files or go through a long contract. The speed and accuracy at which the chatbot completes this task are amazing. Another practical way of using this feature is by uploading your tickets and asking the bot to extract important information (like your seat number, time of journey etc.) and present it to you in a simple manner.
