Got a massive PDF to sift through? Here’s how to save time with an AI assistant that can read, summarize, outline, and more.
From contracts to research papers, most important documents come in lengthy PDFs — regardless of what you do, you’re guaranteed to encounter them in your lifetime, and they nearly always contain verbose language. AI can help you better understand the content and save time doing so.
ChatGPT can act as your assistant by parsing through the PDFs and being on standby for anything you need. It can answer questions, provide summaries, and even generate content from the text, including outlines, emails, and more. The best part is that the feature is entirely free.
