We are living in the era of ChatGPT.

There are more and more interesting use cases of ChatGPT coming out every day. Like, for instance, writing entire novels and poems.

Programmers have been using ChatGPT to write code.

The world of Artificial Intelligence has not been the same since last year since the introduction of ChatGPT. We are only scraping at the edge of the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

A lot of users have been asking us to add a bunch of features into ChatGPT. One of these features is the Document Scanner. The ability to scan entire documents and then make ChatGPT answer based on the document that you have uploaded.

While this may seem like a complex use case, the creators of ChatGPT, OpenAI, have made this feat possible with the help of GPT-4.

But there was a problem with ChatGPT, something that the researchers at OpenAI knew but considered to be of lesser importance – Hallucinations.

The problem with ChatGPT- Hallucinations

According to Bernard Marr, a futurist and a leading voice in all things AI, Hallucinations in an LLM refer to “ a generation of outputs that may sound plausible but are in fact incorrect or unrelated to the given context.”

ChatGPT was prone to hallucinations, and not by a small amount. In fact, according to this article, the hallucination rate for ChatGPT was around 15 to 20%.

A famous instance is when Douglas Hofstadter and David Bender asked ChatGPT how to cross the English channel on foot, and the bot’s reply was:

With ChatGPT-4, the director of OpenAI, Sam Altman, said in a tweet that the chatbot would hallucinate “significantly less.”

CustomGPT to the rescue

Soon after ChatGPT was released, the AI arms race started heating up. One of the biggest players in this market was Anthropic AI. Anthropic released its own version of a Large Language Model, called Claude, which was not as prone to hallucinations as ChatGPT.

Claude 2 was introduced recently with improvements in math, coding, writing and reading. Claude 2 can also handle a staggering 75,000 words, digesting and analyzing this data in less than a minute.

Companies like Notion Labs, Quora and DuckDukckGo tested Claude. Quora used A.I in an app called Poe, which allowed users to ask questions to the bot.

While Claude2 may stand shoulder to shoulder when it comes to capabilities of ChatGPT-4, it is only available in the US and Europe. This is where CustomGPT comes into the picture.

Claude, Bard, Hugging face are all different names to CustomGPT, where platforms powered by Large Language Models are solving very real problems.

And, keeping this in mind, we are happy to announce that we are introducing the Document Scanner feature, powered by the GPT-4 engine.

Step 5: Test your bot

Click on Test bot on the right hand side and see how your bot has been trained on the document. For instance, we had uploaded a medical document here which contained information about Pneumonia. 

When we asked the bot a few questions to the bot about Pneumonia, it returned the following response:
