Struggling to get any use out of LLMs, am I missing something?

Things i have done with local LLMs

• extracted text out of PDF tables into CSV (i’m lazy and copy/paste out of PDFs sucks, i want to do it out of excel fields)

Sounds like

LLM RAG/Chatbot build (LLM+Nextcloud+Twilio)

Pypdf + gpt5 for converting pdf’s to md and interpreting images. PDF’s are pretty short. Like 20 pages on average. We aren’t using a vector db right now just literally shoving the entire converted pdf md into the llm
