This is a simple fastapi app that provides a clean interface to enable a conversation with any pdf. You can enter a link to a pdf hosted online or upload your own pdf. The app will then extract the text from the pdf, create embeddings from the text and use them with the openai api to generate a response to a question you ask. It will also return a source for the part of the text it used to generate the response and the page number.

Try the demo at: https://www.dara.chat

(this video shows some features available on the live demo only )

git clone https://github.com/mukulpatnaik/researchgpt.git
cd researchgpt
pip install -r requirements.txt

You also need redis for storing the embeddings locally on your machine. You can find installation instructions here: https://redis.io/docs/getting-started/installation/. To start the db, run the following command in your terminal.

On MacOS:

redis-server

On Windows:

sudo service redis-server start

You need to have an openai api key and set it as the environment variable 'OPENAI_API_KEY'.

You can get the OpenAI API key here - https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

To set your environment variable open your .bashrc or .zshrc and add the line export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key, make sure to put your actual key instead of "your-key".
