Ai Pdf Chatbot Langchain
This open-source project provides a chatbot agent capable of understanding and answering questions from PDF documents. Built on LangChain and LangGraph, it combines large language models with document retrieval to deliver context-aware responses. The system ingests PDF files, extracts text, and uses vector embeddings to enable semantic search over the document content. It then leverages LangGraph to orchestrate the conversational flow, allowing for multi-turn interactions and follow-up questions. The project is designed to be a starting point for developers who want to build document-based AI assistants without dealing with the underlying complexity of RAG pipelines. It can be self-hosted and customized to fit specific needs.
