How do I set up my own GPT search assistant?

Hi HN,<p>I have around 1000 research papers saved over the years that I would like to be able to search in, in a smarter manner than using CTRL+F. This is a personal tool for me to use doing work, and will not be shared with anyone else. It will run on my PC with 4 ghz cpu, 32 gb ram and 8 gb vram&#x2F;gpu. Nvidia gpu.<p>I tried Pautobot but it is somewhat slow, which probably has something to do with my hardware. I also tried GPT4all but I couldn’t quite understand how I could train it on my data.<p>Basically I am looking for a search feature that can rank and return the best matches&#x2F;paragraphs from these articles. I think vector searching sounds like the better option, but I have trouble finding an easy solution that involves vectorizing PDFs and then being able to search in them documents.<p>Pleased to hear your inputs<p>Note: I cannot write code.<p>Link: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nrl-ai&#x2F;pautobot&#x2F;
