How to train your Keymate Memory with PDFs
On Keymate.AI, you can upload PDF content directly into your Keymate Memory (Information Store / Knowledge Base) without ChatGPT interface. This feature enables you to train your Keymate Memory with a PDF you choose, as a valuable resource for future reference.
With Keymate.AI products like the plugin and GPTs, ChatGPT will ground answers based on your Keymate Memory if you ask for it. You can upload multiple files, once at a time. Each process takes 1 PDF file and trains your Keymate Memory using its content.
This is a guide for you to take advantage of this feature.
Important Note:
Before you upload a PDF, you should consider your use case. See the DOs and DON'Ts to better understand if loading PDFs will work for you.
In many cases, it might be better to simply copy and past the text from a PDF into your chat window. Use CMD+A or CTRL+A to select all text in a PDF, copy and paste it into the chat window.
Step by step guide for loading PDFs
Navigate to https://ln.keymate.ai/web and press login. Use the email account associated with your Keymate.AI account.
Press "Load PDF to Keymate Memory" link on top left.
Select your PDF and press "Upload".
After uploading, it takes approaximately 5 minutes process your file. If it takes more than 5 minutes, you may need to restart the process. It can process PDFs up to roughly 100 pages.
Structured and Unstructured Data
The AI model can't "see" your file. Please remember that it can't see the structure of an uploaded file.
Neither ChatGPT nor your Personal Knowledge Base knows anything about the specific page numbers, titles, or subsections of your PDF. The text in your file is used as an unstructured information to train your Personal Knowledge Base. This means you need to query in relevance with topics and context.
Keymate.AI does semantic lookup on your personal knowledge base. The better you define the topic and context, the better it will find what you are looking for there.
Images, specific titles, page numbers, table of contents in PDF files are structured information. They are not used by your Personal Knowledge Base.
