Just think you got a large number of pdfs or eBooks and you need instant answers from the pdf but you don’t want to go through all of them. If you are that kind of guy, then websites like pdf.ai might be a great option for you.
This is not sponsored but recently I was searching something for similar problems I mentioned above and randomly found it. In other popular ai models, as they might not be trained for this specific purposes, if we upload pdf and ask questions, they don’t give answers that well from the pdf (be it ChatGPT, Grok or DeepSeek).
And as on AI MONKY Blog, we review AI tools, thus covering this tool for you. So, let’s come to the first point.
