AskYourPDF is one of the most impressive apps, letting you ask questions of your PDFs through a conversational interface powered by ChatGPT. It's got a Chrome extension, chat history and a variety of pricing tiers for different needs, so it's a good choice for people who need to extract information rapidly from long PDFs.
Another good choice is ChatPDF, which is geared specifically for understanding a variety of PDFs like research papers, legal contracts and financial reports. You can ask questions and get answers, and even have multi-file chats with the ability to cite sources. That makes it useful for students, researchers and professionals.
For a more sophisticated approach, Documind lets you build a custom chatbot trained on your PDFs so you can get answers straight from the horse's mouth. It can handle bulk uploads and multiple conversations at the same time, so it's good for students and professionals who need to get answers fast without spending too much time.
