What it does
Turn your own PDF textbooks into an AI-searchable knowledge base and structured, fully-cited notes — figures included. A local-first pipeline that spends (almost) zero LLM tokens on the heavy lifting and reserves the frontier model for the one thing it's uniquely good at: synthesizing a note you can actually learn from.
