Chat with PDFs using function calling

Hi HN, chat with PDFs is the first AI App everyone builds but quickly we realize that basic prompt stuffing doesn’t work. So I put together a PDF AI that uses function calling: https://pdf.aidev.run

It intelligently figures out if:

> The question needs retrieval or web search

> If it needs retrieval, does it need to search the latest doc, a specific doc or all docs

> Produces an answer with context.

Give it a spin at: https://pdf.aidev.run and let me know what you think. Its a prototype so expect flaws, but if you share feedback i'll make sure to improve it.
