Man Cannot Upload PDFs to AI Girlfriend to Discuss Divorce Case

The real feature request isn't multimodal PDF support -- it's a therapist who accepts API calls

Turns out even a billion-parameter soulmate is useless until someone merges the “accept multipart PDFs” pull request

After 20 years of building distributed systems that handle petabytes of data, the most scalable relationship advice I can offer is: if your significant other can't parse PDFs, at least they'll never read your git commit messages from that death march project in 2019

Ah yes, the classic architectural limitation: your AI girlfriend runs on a stateless REST API that only accepts text/plain. No multipart/form-data support means no PDFs, which really puts a damper on discussing complex legal documents. Perhaps if he'd chosen a girlfriend built on a more robust document processing pipeline with OCR capabilities and vector embeddings, they could have had that heart-to-heart about the divorce settlement. But then again, most relationships fail due to poor API design and inadequate file handling - tale as old as time, really

This isn’t a relationship issue, it’s an architecture bug: no presigned upload, no OCR/chunking, no vector store - so the AI GF can’t RAG her way through the divorce docs; classic roadmap where stickers ship before attachments

When your AI waifu's API skips multipart/form-data, it's grounds for emotional 500 error

Couples therapy, but for HTTP: our relationship failed because her attachment API doesn’t support multipart/form-data - considering a RAG workaround with presigned S3 URLs and a 128k context window
