In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use Imani, a powerful tool that allows you to interact with one or multiple documents simultaneously. Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, which typically handle one document at a time, Alani AI offers more flexibility in document interaction.

Step 1: Adding Data to Your Platform

Before you begin chatting, you need to upload your data to the Imani platform. This can be done using the option on the right-hand side of the interface. (Note: For detailed instructions on uploading data, refer to the linked video in another section.)

Step 2: Attaching Data

1. Click on "Attach Data"
2. Select "Workspace"
3. Choose from your datasets

Step 3: Selecting DocumentsYou have several options when selecting documents:

• Attach one or more bundles
• Select an individual file from a dataset
• Note: Currently, you can't select multiple individual files at once

Step 4: Chatting with a Single Document

1. Select a single file (e.g., a YouTube video transcript)
2. The chat interface will display information about the selected document
3. You can now start asking questions or interacting with the specific document

Step 5: Chatting with Multiple Documents

1. Clear the previous chat
2. Click on "Entire Bundle"
3. Turn on the option to chat with the full bundle
4. The interface will show you're chatting with the entire dataset (e.g., "2024 stock market research")

Benefits of Chatting with Multiple Documents:

• Access to a larger pool of information (e.g., 150+ documents, some 400+ pages long)
• Ability to get comprehensive answers drawing from various sources
• Easy navigation between different documents within the bundle

Step 6: Exploring Sources

• Imani provides source information for its responses
• Click on the source link to view the original document
• You can see a list of all documents in the bundle (e.g., 155 documents in the example)

Alani's ability to toggle between individual files and entire bundles of documents offers a versatile and powerful way to interact with your data. Whether you're analyzing a single video transcript or researching across hundreds of documents, Imani provides a seamless experience for information retrieval and analysis.
