Why each option
The chatbot fails to answer about product stock because a static PDF catalog typically lacks real-time inventory information, which question answering models cannot infer from the document alone.
The question 'Do you have <product> in stock?' requires information that is dynamic and external to a static PDF document. Simply training the model on the PDF will not enable it to answer questions about real-time stock availability, as that data is not present within the document itself.
The Azure Cognitive Service for Language's question answering feature extracts answers from the content of provided documents. A product catalogue and price list PDF typically contains descriptive and pricing information, but it does not usually include dynamic, real-time inventory stock levels. Therefore, the model cannot answer questions about stock availability from this source alone.
