This is one of the 'killer apps' of AI.

My workplace has a number of multi-hundred page "User Guide" documents that are an absolute chore to read through for anything actually useful to the scenario-of-the-moment because they're so granularly detailed that, even if you find the right section, it might be difficult to relate it to the scenario because there's so much detail that the context gets lost.

If we could get them ingested as an LLM context, and then make a customer-accessible interface, it would be a great value-add for Customers as well as Employees.

The Berlin immigration office has such a document. I dream of turning it into a browsable, searchable website, but PDFs are so resilient to traditional automation.
