Pardon my ignorance in advance but could it be used to "chat" with PDFs and websites? I am looking for OpenAI alternatives as I am in learning phase

No. “Chatting with PDFs” is (mostly) taking a users chat message, retrieve relevant content via e.g embedding search, then feed that into an LLM with a prompt that’s something along the lines of “given this information, can you answer this question”.

This tool helps with embedding part.

I’ve built a bunch of ”chat with your PDFs” bots, do reach out if you have any questions me at brian.jp.

Actually I wanna use langchain. OpwnAI is not free. I wanted to test two use cases:

- chat with documents(pdf, doc etc)

- chat with website. Like, if I integrate with an ecommerce site, I can ask questions from the website. What options do I have in free for both cloud and locally?

Check out my little side project for chatting with PDFs. You should be able to load most models including this one. https://github.com/clarkmcc/chitchat

This looks cool so can it be used to feed Website/Products data in CSV/JSON format and "chat" with it?

[clarkmcc]

Pretty much! Right now it only supports md, pdf, txt, and html, but supporting additional formats is trivial: https://github.com/clarkmcc/chitchat/blob/main/src-tauri/src....

No, this is an embedding model, not a text completion model.

using the bing tab of microsoft edge browser, you can chat with PDFs and i think they use GTP4 or equivalent
