Can I create an answer without example context?

Hello.

I am going to find an answer to a question based on a PDF file content. I can extract texts from PDF file and upload it as a jsonl file but the problem is, Answers endpoint requires example Q/As and example context as well, though I dont have any examples.
Is there any option to use Answers endpoint without any examples param?

Cheers!

we find that it doesn’t work well without examples but you don’t need that many. Just few, 1-3 examples should be good enough

Is there a way you could manually do one or two samples and add just a small snippet and the answer? Or, make up one or two small examples. If you did that, GPT-3 might be able to pick up on the pattern and work better trying to grep answers from new text. Good luck!
