The AI Assistant provides the ability for users to ask questions about the opened document in the TIFF Viewer Core, whether it is a medical record, a legal document, or technical documentation. The virtual assistant is an Open AI ChatGPT-powered feature, that enables users to navigate through and extract information quickly from documents.
To ask questions about the currently opened document, one can use the AI Assistant like any other chat application. Click on the “Let’s talk about your document” button in the bottom right corner of the content area, enter the desired question in the “Ask something about the document” field, and press Enter.
