PDF AI Tutor is a Replit project that makes reading long PDFs simple and fast. By using OpenAI API, it lets you upload a PDF, get a clear summary, and then chat with your document. Instead of spending hours reading, you can ask questions directly and get answers like you are learning from a private tutor.
Inspiration 💡
I built this project to solve my own problem - learning faster from heavy study materials and guides. I wanted a tool that saves time and helps focus on what really matters inside a document.
Key Challenges 🤔
Large files filled with complex information.
Slow manual reading and note-taking.
Hard to find the right section when you have questions.
Approach 🔍
PDF Upload & Processing Used Files API and OpenAI to handle document uploads and prepare them for analysis.
AI Summarization Created a feature that delivers short and clear summaries of long PDFs, so key ideas are easy to understand.
Chat with Documents (RAG) Added a system to ask direct questions about the file. The AI uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide accurate answers from the PDF itself.
Private Tutor Experience Combined all features into an interactive learning tool where the AI acts like a tutor for any PDF you upload.
