Marvin supports various file formats, including PDFs and PPTs (which are converted to PDFs). It's a great way to add secondary research to your project and repository. Similar to other files, you can add notes, file tags, labels, etc., and run AI analysis.
How do I upload PDFs and PPTs?
Navigate to the project to which you want to add these files. Click "Add new files" and then select "Upload files".
Annotate the PDF
You can add notes to text as well as images in the PDF. Just toggle between the two in the toolbar at the top.
When you highlight any text, the note box will open up.
Similarly, select and drag any part of a page to select the image. You'll be able to type your note in the box that opens.
AI Analysis
You have access to the same AI analysis features on PDFs as on other files. Marvin will create a summary, key takeaways, pain points, etc. You can also use Ask AI on the PDF.
Marvin will include information from charts, graphs, and images in the analysis. This is a great way to include quantitative data in your research.
Add PDFs to Insights
You can also add PDFs to Insight reports.
Navigate to "Insights and Playlists" in your project and open a new or existing Insight.
You can also add comments to the PDF in the Insight by highlighting blocks of text.
