AI PDF Assistant

Rehan Taneja

PDF RAG Chrome Extension turns your browser into an AI‑powered PDF assistant. Just copy any text from a PDF in you clipboard, click the toolbar icon, and choose one of three smart actions: Define: Get concise, context‑aware definitions of technical terms or jargon, drawn directly from the PDF you’re reading. Synopsis: Generate a quick, human‑readable summary of any paragraph or section—perfect for skimming long academic papers, reports, or manuals. Chat: Ask free‑form questions about the PDF’s content and receive detailed, conversational answers powered by Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG). Accurate contextual answers: Instead of generic web results, you get definitions and summaries grounded in your specific document. Lightweight & secure: Your data stays between your browser and your own Flask backend (self‑hosted or in the cloud), with CORS and error‑handling built in.
