Important Notice

Once ACUNAO-AI is launched, it will automatically create a folder named ACUNAO-AI-Data inside your Documents directory. This folder contains essential files and a sample project folder called project_example.

🚫 Do NOT delete the ACUNAO-AI-Data or project_example folders. These are critical for application functionality.

General Usage Information

ACUNAO-AI is designed to answer questions based on the documents you provide. It does not retain memory of previous conversations or answers.

Key Behaviors:

• It will notify you when a document is processing and when it is ready.
• It cannot respond to questions about documents that haven't been processed.
• When requesting a summary, mention the document title (as it appears in your project folder), not general terms like "this paper" or "this document".
• ACUNAO-AI does not currently understand references like "these documents", "these PDFs", or "this folder of files".

Recommendations

Start by adding PDF files into the ACUNAO-AI-Data folder inside your Documents folder. Alternatively, click the 'Open ACUNAO-AI-Data Folder' button from within the app's sidebar.

Steps to Create a New Project:

1. Open the ACUNAO-AI-Data folder.
2. Create a new subfolder with your project name.
3. Add supported PDF documents into this folder. ACUNAO-AI will automatically process them.

Data Management:

• Processed documents are tracked in a metadata.json file within each project folder.
• A vectordb folder stores your searchable embeddings.

⚠️ Do NOT delete metadata.json or vectordb.

Pro Tip:

Organize complex projects by creating nested folders within your project folder—each acts as a separate topic-specific database!

Sharing Projects:

You can share your project databases with others by copying and transferring the project folder.
To load a shared project, simply move the folder into your own ACUNAO-AI-Data directory.
