Research on Local Documents
Just Local Docs
You can instruct the GPT Researcher to run research tasks based on your local documents. Currently supported file formats are: PDF, plain text, CSV, Excel, Markdown, PowerPoint, and Word documents.
Step 1: Add the env variable DOC_PATH
pointing to the folder where your documents are located.
export DOC_PATH="./my-docs"
Step 2:
- If you're running the frontend app on localhost:8000, simply select "My Documents" from the "Report Source" Dropdown Options.
- If you're running GPT Researcher with the PIP package, pass the
report_source
argument as "local" when you instantiate theGPTResearcher
class code sample here.
