AI-Powered Chatbot with Text Extraction Capabilities

This project combines various technologies to create an AI-powered chatbot that can extract text from images, PDFs, and Word documents. It uses Tesseract OCR for image text extraction, PyMuPDF for PDFs, python-docx for Word documents, and OpenAI to generate AI-driven responses. The chatbot is built using Gradio for its user interface and integrated with Groq for optimized performance.

Features

• Multi-file Support: Upload images, PDFs, and Word documents for text extraction.
• AI-powered Conversational Interface: Get responses using natural language processing via OpenAI.
• Performance Optimization: Integrates with Groq for fast and efficient processing.
