Introduction

A few weeks ago, someone at our company had an exciting idea. They mentioned that it would be fantastic if HuggingFace's chat assistant could support file uploads, similar to ChatGPT's functionality where you can upload a file and have it digest the information inside.

Currently, HuggingFace’s chat assistant only supports text inputs via a text box. However, inspired by this idea, we decided to take on the challenge and make it a reality.

To achieve this, we used Astra Assistance's API to streamline the process of uploading PDF files into HuggingFace's model. After putting in the effort, we are thrilled to announce that it worked!

Would you want to try this out? Let's dive into the details of how we made this possible and what you can expect when you integrate this new feature into your workflow.
