Chat with your PDF file using OpenAI's assistant API, with highlights for annotations retrieved from the chat.

In the backend directory, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

In the chatpdf directory, run:

You will need to create an account on OpenAI's platform and get an API key. You can find more information here.

Then, at here, create a new assistant and get the assistant's ID. Example prompt for the assistant:

Finally, fill in the backend/.env file with the API key and the assistant's ID.
