This feature leverages advanced AI to deliver intelligent document analysis and deeper content understanding. Highlights include:

• Easy Understanding: Automatically analyzes PDF content and helps users grasp key points quickly without reading the entire document.
• Interactive Q&A: Allows users to ask custom questions or choose from AI-suggested queries for deeper insights.
• Ideal for Complex Documents: Perfect for legal contracts, research papers, business reports, and other lengthy or technical PDFs.

Intelligent Document Redaction and Privacy Protection

The AI-Powered PDF Viewer includes an AI-powered redaction system that intelligently identifies and safeguards sensitive information. Key capabilities:

• PII Data Detection: Automatically identifies Personally Identifiable Information such as Social Security Numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers.
• Customizable Redaction Patterns: Supports domain-specific data recognition for medical records, financial details and other industry-specific compliance needs.
• Consistent Redaction: Ensures secure and uniform redaction across all documents to maintain privacy and regulatory standards.

AI-Enhanced Smart Form Filling and Data Extraction

This feature streamlines data entry using AI. Key benefits:

• Clipboard Data Extraction: Automatically extracts relevant information from clipboard content copied from any document or structured data source.
• Intelligent Field Mapping: Accurately assigns extracted data to the appropriate form fields using AI.
• Efficient Data Entry: Reduces manual input while improving accuracy and overall form-filling speed.

Configuration and Setup Instructions

System Requirements and Prerequisites

• .NET 8.0 or later
• Visual Studio 2022 (v17.4 or later) or Visual Studio Code with C# extension
• An active OpenAI API key or Azure OpenAI service subscription
• Minimum 4GB RAM for optimal AI processing performance
• Internet connection for AI service communication

Configuring AI Service Credentials

To run AI samples, navigate to the Program.cs file in any sample project and replace the following placeholders with your actual credentials:

Azure OpenAI Configuration

string apiKey = "your-api-key";
string deploymentName = "your-deployment-name";
string endpoint = "your-azure-endpoint-url";

Your Azure endpoint URL structure: https://{resource_name}.openai.azure.com/

To use Azure OpenAI, install the Azure.AI.OpenAI package separately in your Blazor application.

OpenAI Configuration

If you are using OpenAI, create an API key and configure as follows:

string openAiKey = "your-openai-api-key";
string deploymentName = "gpt-3.5-turbo"; // or gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo
string endpoint = ""; // Leave empty for OpenAI

The deploymentName should be the model you wish to use (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo).
