Feature Request: AI-Powered PDF Summarizer #16

Description

@Rafid92

Motivation
Users often work with lengthy documents (research papers, reports, manuals) and need a fast way to extract key insights without reading the entire file. An AI summarizer would significantly improve productivity and user experience.

Acceptance Criteria

  • User can upload a PDF (single file)
  • System extracts readable text from the PDF (handle multi-page docs)
  • AI summary is generated and displayed within a reasonable time (<15s for typical docs)
  • Summary is clearly structured and readable
  • Error handling for: password-protected PDFs, image-only scanned PDFs, oversized files
  • Optional: allow user to select summary length (short / detailed)

Technical Notes

  • PDF text extraction: consider pdfplumber, PyMuPDF, or similar
  • May require chunking for large documents exceeding context window limits
  • Frontend: display summary in a structured card or panel alongside the upload UI
