Show HN: ChatGPT and Document Parser = Ghost

#1
I've always wanted to just upload a whole book to ChatGPT and ask questions. Obviously with the char limit that's impossible... So some buddies and I built Ghost. We have it limited to 5 pages for uploads for now, but plan on expanding the limit soon. Let me know what you guys think!

I didn't do any extensive testing but seems to be really useful. However, where can we see the privacy policy? People are probably going to upload some important and confidential documents so it's good to know how this data is being handled. The only thing I see is an asterisk after the 24 hour notice Also, the bot answer window may have 5 pages even if 1 page is enough for the answer, this may confise your users since they may think there's something else on other pages

5 pages fits in the context window. How exactly do you plan on expanding the limit? Without explanation we have to assume you haven't completely solved your core technical challenges.

In my testing the biggest challenges with using for example OpenAI embeddings with cosine similarity or something are A) figuring out the section breaks or right chunk size so that information stays in context and B) retrieving enough chunks to get the correct hit for a query without having too much extraneous information that confuses it.

I think that it's hard to make a parser that most optimally slices up arbitrary documents.

Since you have some larger documents preloaded I assume for those you have the embeddings search. But for user uploads you are skipping that now and just feeding all of the text extracted from the PDF into the prompt along with the query.

Hey! This is a great point. So we delete the documents within 24 hours of upload, and have a limitation to 5 pages to cut our own costs as this is just a concept.
