+Upload and chat about a document
+One use case of LLMs that has become popular is providing a document (for example, a PDF file) and chatting with LLMs about the content. For example, you can ask it to summarize, answer specific questions, find weaknesses and strengths, rewrite sections, and so on.
+In order to test this out you can use your own document or download one of our suggestions:
+-
+
- SciLifeLab Roadmap for 2020-2030; +
- SciLifeLab annual report 2023; +
- Antibiotic perseverance increases the risk of resistance development (Brandis, Larsson, Elf, PNAS 2023). +
++☝️ TIP: You can upload a document in Swedish but ask questions in English and vice versa because the LLM can just translate between them.
+
Microsoft Copilot
+If you have access to Microsoft Copilot via your university then you can simply use the upload function in the chat to upload a PDF file and then ask it to answer questions.
+++☝️ TIP: If you run into a file size limitation, try the free alternative that we suggest below.
