It’s a scam
It doesn’t work the way it should. It says that you can chat to make a pdf, it’s a lie
Potential
It's not too bad, but there are many areas that need improvement.
1. I suspect that this chat PDF doesn't actually use a large language model to extract text from image PDFs. Compared to other apps using the Gemini 3.1 model to recognize images, chat PDF performs poorly with handwritten Chinese notes, making numerous errors—almost entirely incorrect. If it cannot accurately read the text information from PDFs, what is the point of having a conversation about the PDF?
2. Additionally, importing a more than 300-page image PDF is very slow, taking over 20 minutes.
3. It often refuses to answer, displaying a message that states, "I do not have enough information to answer the question."
