Nextcloud AI Assistant: Requirements and Capabilities

If I understand correctly, the AI Assistant in Nextcloud AIO requires a PC equipped with a GPU to function, right?

I also wonder if the Nextcloud Assistant can perform the following task: provide answers based on the content written in one of the multiple PDFs stored in the Nextcloud?


We are currently considering switching the entire office to Nextcloud or another solution that would allow us to integrate AI with our server. The goal is to have an AI assistant capable of answering questions by retrieving information from multiple PDFs or even across various platforms.

For instance, we might use a wiki platform like BookStack or similar and also have chat logs (currently using Zoom, but open to other options). Ideally, the AI assistant would be able to provide answers by drawing information from any of these sources.

Does anyone have suggestions or ideas for such a setup? - I know it is not directly Nextcloud related, or it could be.
