Welcome to the world of intelligent document processing! Today, we’re going to explore an exciting application called the PDF Analyzer App. This powerful tool allows you to upload your PDF or TXT documents and engage in a dialogue with them, asking questions and receiving answers based on the content. So let’s jump right in!

Features of the PDF Analyzer App

• Upload PDF or TXT documents effortlessly.

Once the command is executed, open your web browser and navigate to the URL provided in your terminal to start interacting with your PDF or TXT documents!

Understanding the Code via an Analogy

Imagine you are at a library, and each book represents a document you might upload (PDF or TXT). Now, when you want to learn about a particular topic, you wouldn’t just randomly pick books, right? You would search for specific books that might contain the information you need. This searching is akin to the ‘retrievers’ in our app, such as Similarity Search or Support Vector Machines.

The library (or our app) helps you navigate through a multitude of information effectively, providing the right answers to your inquiries based on the texts you uploaded. Just as you can ask a librarian for help, here you can ask the app your questions based on the content of your documents!

Troubleshooting Issues

If you encounter any issues during setup or usage, consider these troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that you have followed all installation steps correctly, including activating your virtual environment.
• Double-check that you have all the required packages installed as mentioned in the requirements.txt file.
• If the app doesn’t run correctly, look for error messages in the terminal, which might indicate what went wrong.
