What can you do with it?

The /pdf-analysis command enables you to use the LLM to extract text from PDF documents for further processing. You can extract all text from a PDF, pull specific sections, answer questions about the content, create summaries, and convert PDF content into editable text formats for analysis or documentation. If you just want to get the text out of the PDF without any LLM analysis, use one of the conversion/extraction tools (much faster!)
