Earlier quoted context omitted.

> renaming PDFs Sorry, I didn't understand. Why do you need ML tool for renaming PDFs? or did you mean rephrasing or rewriting in a different format?

Maybe they mean walking a file tree and cleaning up file names to match the titles on the covers of them more accurately?

Exactly. You download something from arxiv and the filename has no meaningful content in it. Generally speaking, you want the filename to be descriptive in some way, extracting the title of the document is a good start.

How do you get value from chatting with documents? I can scan and read a pdf faster than I can chat with an AI about it. There must be more to it than I realize.

what if you want to extract certain information from 100 pdfs?

PDF material comes with different information density. If you have a lose collection of 100 manuals, and you need to find a snippet of information that could be in 10 different ones, I'm guessing something like this can help you navigate and locate what you need.

a one-page PDF, sure. But if it's a 500 page pdf of a law and/or regulation, then definitely not.
