Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
What is included in the ChatPDF template?
The template includes 14+ fully designed screens covering onboarding, authentication (email, Google, Apple), AI chat interface, PDF viewer, rich text editor, document library, settings with dark mode, and more. All built with React Native, Expo SDK 54, TypeScript, and NativeWind.
Does it work on both iOS and Android?
Yes! The template is built with React Native and Expo, ensuring full cross-platform compatibility. It runs natively on both iOS and Android with a single codebase, and includes platform-specific optimizations.
How do I integrate my own AI backend?
The template uses a clean separation between UI and data layers. Simply replace the dummy AI responses in the chat handlers with calls to your preferred AI API (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). The architecture makes integration straightforward.
Can I customize the theme and colors?
Absolutely. The template features a centralized theme system with full dark and light mode support. Change the primary color in one file and it propagates throughout the entire app. NativeWind (Tailwind CSS) makes styling changes quick and consistent.
Is authentication included?
Yes, the template includes complete authentication screens: login, signup, OTP verification, forgot password, and profile setup. It supports email/password, Google, and Apple sign-in flows ready for backend integration.
Do I get updates and support?
Yes, you receive all future updates to the template. We provide documentation and support to help you customize and deploy your app successfully.
Can I build a ChatPDF alternative with this template?
Yes. The template mirrors the core ChatPDF experience — upload a PDF, chat with an AI about its content, review chat history, and manage a document library. You get the full React Native frontend. Wire up your LLM of choice (OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) and your own vector database (Pinecone, Supabase pgvector, Weaviate) to power the actual document Q&A.
Do I need a RAG pipeline to use this template?
For real document Q&A, yes. You'll need to extract text from PDFs, chunk and embed it, store vectors, and retrieve context for each user question before sending it to an LLM. The template does not include the RAG pipeline — that is your backend. LangChain or LlamaIndex can help you set it up faster.
Does the chat with PDF template work on iOS and Android?
Yes. Built with React Native and Expo, the template runs on both iOS and Android from a single codebase. Includes a PDF viewer that works across platforms.
Can I use this for other document types besides PDFs?
The UI patterns work for any document format — Word, PowerPoint, text, Markdown. You would need to update the viewer and add support for the new file types in your backend. The chat interface, library, and editor screens work for any document format.
