Question

How to send a PDF from Gmail to OpenAI for analysis

A

I’m struggling to send a .pdf from my gmail to openAI/ChatPT for analysis. 

 

Essentially I have a .pdf which I want to extract some data from, with a specific prompt. How do I send the attachment to OpenAI/Chatgpt?

 

Tried the ‘analyze image content with vision’ - does not support PDF
Tried the ‘conversation’ action event with the /attachment in the user message (but this creates an AWS link which openAI can't browse to).

I wish to have it as an attachment just like the chatGPT web front end attachment.
