• 2. Download the "Chat with RTX" installer from the Nvidia website https://www.nvidia.com/. The zipped folder is approximately 35GB in size, so the download may take a while.

3. After downloading, extract all files from the folder.


• 4. In the extracted files, select "setup.exe" and continue with the installation process.
• 5. During the installation process, you will be asked to specify the installation location of "Chat with RTX". Make sure the location you choose has at least 100GB of free disk space as this is where the tool will download the AI model.
  
• 6. The installation process may be lengthy, up to 45 minutes. If it fails, just re-run the installer and select the same data storage location.
• 7. Once the installation is complete, you will find a shortcut for "Chat with RTX" on your desktop and the application will open in a browser window.

Part 2. How to use Chat with RTX to process your data

• 1. First, create a folder for your dataset and remember the location because you will need to point Chat with RTX to that folder. The tool supports file formats such as .txt, .pdf, and .doc.
• 2. Start Chat with RTX and select the pen icon in the Datasets section.
  
• 3. Navigate to your data storage folder and select it.
• 4. In Chat with RTX, click the refresh icon in the Datasets section to update the model based on new data. Remember to do this every time you enter new data into the folder or switch between different data sets.
• 5. After adding the data, select the AI model you want to use. "Chat with RTX" offers "Llama 2" and "Mistral", the latter being the default option. Feel free to try both.
• 6. Now you can start asking questions. Note, however, that Chat with RTX does not consider previous responses when generating new responses. Additionally, specific questions tend to produce better results than general questions. It's also possible for Chat with RTX to quote incorrect data when providing responses, so please be aware of this.
• 7. If "Chat with RTX" stops running and restarting does not resolve the issue, Nvidia recommends deleting the "preferences.json" file located in the config directory of the tool's installation path.

Part 3: How to Chat via YouTube using RTX?

Chat with RTX supports various file formats, including text, pdf, doc/docx, and xml.Additionally, RTX can also pull transcriptions from YouTube playlists, providing the user direct access to the content covered.

1. Chat with RTX can also be used with YouTube videos by processing the transcript of the video. However, this feature has its limitations. For example, the tool won't see anything that's not included in the transcript and therefore can't answer questions about those details.

2. To use this feature, launch "Chat with RTX" and in the "Datasets" section, select "YouTube" from the drop-down menu.

3. Paste the link to your YouTube video or playlist in the field provided. Next to this field, you will find a note indicating the maximum number of records to download.

4. Click the Download button and wait for the transcript to download. When finished, click the refresh button.

5. Now you can chat as if it were your own data. Specific questions are more likely to produce better results than general questions. If you are participating in a conversation about multiple videos and your question is too general, the tool may reference the wrong video.

6. If you want to discuss a new set of videos later, you will need to manually delete the old transcripts.
