We insure our vehicle, and a long PDF file arrives like a court summons. We buy a product, the product reaches our home until we read the incoming PDF. The courses, employment contracts, information and handbooks prepared for distance and open education students have everything at our fingertips, but we are often too lazy to read them.
Sometimes the trick is to find the short phrase we really need in PDF files. For example, when cheating in distance exams (I would also appreciate it if you do not tell my professors), the CTRL + F combination is often not enough, especially if we are looking for a specific sentence or a word and we do not know what it is.
Fortunately, there is artificial intelligence…
ChatGPT comes up with innovations every day. One of these is the add-ons offered for PDF.
Is there anyone who hasn’t heard of him? ChatGPT is the only favorite of many people, especially those who spend long hours in front of the computer for both work and entertainment. He writes books, writes code, translates, and even gives criticism if you push him. Nowadays, it allows you to easily process PDF files with 3rd party plugins.
Thanks to these plug-ins, our artificial intelligence tool performs broader web scans, draws diagrams, and even queries Wikipedia. Of course, we need to open the mouth of the purse a little to benefit from it. Most of the innovations we generally hear about ChatGPT are valid for the GPT-4 version. Well, it doesn’t cost money to explain its features, right?
Start researching ‘quickly’! ScholarAI comes to our rescue for articles.
When it comes to scientific articles, we can use ScholarAI, as the name suggests. You ask why? Because the plugin was created specifically for this.
The plugin has access to more than 40 million official articles on the Internet. It can transfer them to you as a PDF, quickly skim through certain sections of the article, make summaries, and sometimes take the initiative to find and present extra information.
We can search millions of resources at our disposal within certain time periods. For example, we can change the search scale as we wish, with restrictions such as “articles in 2023”.
“I don’t understand sir, can you explain it again?” AskYourPDF plugin, which we can call.
It’s like they chose the plugin names specifically. AskYourPDF is what you make of its name. If you are looking for information but cannot find it or need it explained better, you can ask your questions via ChatGPT.
It also helps if you don’t know where the PDF came from. In addition, this plugin has adopted ScholarAI’s working principle; It is perfect for extracting summaries and overviews, and can even reinterpret and rewrite certain sections.
Information does not always come to us, we need to produce a little. Welcome, DocMaker.
Slightly different from the working logic of the other two tools, DocMaker is a plugin that is keen on creating information rather than searching for it. DocMaker helps you create PDFs with the help of ChatGPT.
All it needs is a text. For example, you need to prepare a resume. DocMaker will request the necessary text from you for this. Of course, you can also have this text prepared by artificial intelligence. Then, just choose the type of PDF you want to create.
Let’s stretch our imagination a little for what they can do. Not in the very distant future, probably within a few years, when equipped with a more advanced algorithm and of course when ChatGPT is developed enough, it may even be capable of producing a magazine using texts and images.
When we look at it, all artificial intelligence tools exist to make our job easier. Although it is frightening that they are being renewed day by day and increasing the future concerns of some, it is an undoubted fact that the blessings of technology will increase in the coming years.
We will see how far other tools and add-ons will extend, especially ChatGPT, the most well-known artificial intelligence tool.
