| Welcome to File Chat, a wrapper around [OpenAI file | |
| search](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/tools/file-search). This | |
| tool allows you to search, summarize, and translate your | |
| documents. | |
| Start by uploading one or more documents to the tool. You can do so by | |
| clicking the button marked, "Select and upload your files". Documents | |
| should be one of the types supported by OpenAI; a list can be found | |
| [here](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/tools/file-search/supported-files). Once | |
| uploaded, the document names will appear in the text box beneath the | |
| upload button. From there you can begin chatting with your data. The | |
| column on the right provides an interface to do so. Type a question | |
| into the small box at the bottom of the column and press "enter." Your | |
| message and its response will be displayed in the larger box above it. | |
| You can add documents at any time during your interaction. To remove | |
| documents, reload the website and begin a new session; uploading new | |
| documents, or a subset of the previous ones. The following | |
| best-practices are advisable: | |
| * Do not upload documents that contain information you want to keep | |
| secret, or are uncomfortable exposing to OpenAI. | |
| * Responses will be based on all of the documents you upload. Make | |
| sure the current documents you have uploaded pertain to the | |
| questions you will be asking. Extraneous documents may reduce the | |
| focus -- and potentially the accuracy -- of the model's responses. | |
| * Having some idea of what is in your document set is a good | |
| idea. That will allow you to judge whether the model is making | |
| things up; and if so, to what extent. | |
| * If the answer to a question is important, ask the question in a few | |
| different ways. The model's ability to answer similar questions | |
| consistently is some evidence that it is doing the right thing. | |
| This project is open source. To view the code, or to run your own | |
| instance, please see the [Github | |
| repository](https://github.com/jerome-white/openai-file-chat). It is | |
| also a work in progress: please be patient if the tool is slow or | |
| throws up errors, and use the answers at your own risk. | |
