Case study: PDF AI tool made $25K in MRR Last Month

@eb63067 Can’t we make an app using ChatGPT to do this?

 

[christtard]

@aftergodsheart pdf.ai uses chatgpt lol

@eb63067 Why can’t I simply use ‘Ask pdf’ plugin in the chatgpt?

 

[spedteach]

@lohan Is there a plugin by that name?

 

[lohan]

@spedteach I just checked my chatgpt webapp. It is 'ChatWithPdf' and not 'Ask Pdf', but yeah there is a plugin for that. I installed it 2 months ago and tested with couple of pdfs with private data (google non-indexed) and it works fine. Not sure what is the situation now.

more info about that plugin: https://gptstore.ai/plugins/chatwithpdf-sdan-io

@eb63067 Thanks for sharing! This is great and exactly the kind of Project I would like to try out myself soon.

 

[eb63067]

@bluestarsky Glad to hear you enjoyed it. If you do start such a project, make sure to keep us posted

 

[bluestarsky]

@eb63067 Just curious: how did you go about the word/token limit on openai?
Wouldn't it prevent you from scanning the whole document at once?

@eb63067 Curious, did you use passport for user authentication ?

@eb63067 Congratulations

What pdf reader (react library?) did you use? I love the simplicity of the UI!

 

[eb63067]

@faithmotion I just wrote the marketing breakdown, maybe you can message the founder Damon via Twitter?

@eb63067 Are most of these AI tools and services built using the OpenAI API?

 

[eb63067]

@orthodoxlady1994 Correct, and this one in particular is as well.

 

[orthodoxlady1994]

@eb63067 Thanks.

@orthodoxlady1994 Not only on OpenAI APIs. You need to preprocess the PDFs and be smart with the API calls to not make it expensive. The keyword is RAG. I think I saw someone over at /r/Entrepreneur offering everything as one API tho

[orthodoxlady1994]

@rfhthepoet Hey, RAG is exactly what I needed to learn today! Thanks.

@eb63067 how long did they take from ideation to implementation/rollout?
