I’m building a file retrieval GPT and would like to import PDFs that when people search for something relevant it would produce the PDF, a link, and Ideally a visual. Is this possible?
It’s currently not possible to generate or create files using ChatGPT. That being said you could potentially generate VBA code that churns out documents. Or you could potentially hook it up to a Zapier that converts text to PDF?
You can create lot’s of files.
I can create pictures, Excelsheets, text documents, CSV’s files, etc…
One can even upload a picture, let Vision extract data from the image, render a graph from it and download the results as an Excelsheet.
Demo
Take this picture as an example. Can you extract the text, so I can read it as plain text?

Can you create a version with that text, but styled as a HTML page.

Can you create the HTML file for me, so I can download it?
(this is the file I was offered to download)
Awesome, and now in PDF format!

Not srictly true. Open a chat with code interpreter and you can use python to write to ChatGpt’s local temp filesystem, then get a link to that file.

interesting. I’d like to use it as a search function for our company knowledge base. I’d like to be able to ask it a question such as " are there any SPIFFs going on this month" and in our knowledge base we store PDF marketing docs (some of which are SPIFF docs). I’d like it to find and return relevant docs to me.
Do you have an approximation of the size of your company’s knowledge base in terms of the number of documents or megabytes required? It’s possible this would be doable, or you may need to find a different methodology and it could still probably be doable.

I’ve found you can also create PowerPoints, both of a set of images created through DALL-E or text generated in GPT4. It might make sense to ask for a Powerpoint, edit and then export to PDF?
That works.
I’ve been upload about 500mb of PDF files and was able to search them like you mentioned (also crosslinking data from PDF 1 and PDF 2).
But it’s not always close to the ideal answer, so you can’t trust it for 100%.
Love those gpt4-v hacks, I think you are doing great work with that model. I did a similar thing with my handwritten notes, messy handwriting. And it worked great - issue with a few words that were poorly written, but overall I think this functionality is how I want to digitize my journals.

you can use the text generated by GPT-3 and then convert it into a PDF using additional tools or programming. For example, you could use a programming language like Python with a library like ReportLab or LaTeX to create a PDF and format it accordingly based on the text generated by GPT-3.
My idea is to create small pdf with a few images into them, and it is very extrange (and also inconsistent) that using the same method sometime works and other not (or with errors displayed).Is there’s any solution for this problem ?

Has anyone solved the ChatGPT issue creating Excel, Word or Powerpoint files? It used to work and now just fails with explanations such as "I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me try generating the PowerPoint again and ensure it is properly saved for download.
Let’s create the PowerPoint presentation and make it available for download.
I apologize for the issues you’re experiencing. While the download link generation seems to be facing issues, here’s how you can create the PowerPoint presentation yourself manually:"
I am really hoping that this issue gets resolved as it was very useful until it was taken away. Anyone else experiencing these issues still or find success in resolving it?
