🚀 Overview
Doclify AI is an AI-powered document intelligence system that allows users to chat with PDFs, PPTs, and documents using a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline.
Instead of manually searching through long documents, users can ask questions in natural language and get context-aware answers with source references.
💡 Problem It Solves
Reading and extracting information from large documents is:
⏳ Time-consuming 🔍 Difficult to search manually 📚 Inefficient for revision and analysis
Doclify AI solves this by turning static documents into interactive knowledge systems.
✨ Key Features
📄 Support for multiple file formats (PDF, PPT, DOCX)
💬 Chat-with-documents (ChatGPT-like interface)
🧠 RAG-based contextual question answering
🔍 Page-level source tracking for every answer
📝 One-click document summarization
📚 Multi-document querying support
⚡ Real-time streaming responses
