At some point I'd love to further train an LLM on all my PDFs and be able to ask it questions.


For txt based pdfs, doc files etc, this is super easy to do and requires very little technical expertise or configuration. Download the gpt4all client. Pick an LLM the new meta llama3 model works really well then configure the local documents plugin.

I wrote a scraper to download all of the California EdCode from the governments site, convert them all to txt docs and I can ask questions about California EdCode in plain English.

I work in a shared governance capacity that requires us to refer to the Ed code for contractual negotiations and it’s been extremely helpful.
