Research assistant gives error after 3 messages if pdf is uploaded (this input is not supported. (Invalid Input))

aivalja

If a pdf file is uploaded to research assistant, it successfully reads it and can answer first message sent to it. After sending a second message, it returns error "We are sorry, this input is not supported. (Invalid Input)".

Example thread.

Steps to reproduce:

Upload any pdf file to research assistant
Send two follow-up messages
The third message from assistant should be the error.

Not get an error as a response

Same experience here. Here's another in case you need it for troubleshooting. It really kills the experience.

I got the same error in my second follow up message to a hyperlinked PDF. I think I’m gonna downgrade my ultimate plan because of this.

Tirion That seems like a knee-jerk reaction.

I'm also seing this bug while using expert assistant mode. Same pattern with image uploads using the GPT4-V API, after 2 follow-up questions the invalid input error appears.

Tirion Would not recommend using products clearly marked as "Beta" if you can't deal with a few bugs.

As far as I understand, Kagi’s assistant is the main additional feature of the ultimate plan.

Meanwhile, GPT Plus is marginally more expensive for an LLM that does search+RAG, but it generally works.

Not trying to crap all over Kagi btw, I’m still a fan. But if it can’t take more than 1 follow up question reliably, I think it’s fair to consider that it’s not for me at the moment.

It has worked in the past without issue. A bug was introduced and it looks like a fix is imminent. That’s all we’re saying.
