Hello everyone, I've been building a Mac app called TalkToYourBook for a couple of weeks. I was hugely inspired by lots of popular "Chat with your pdf" services. But I always wanted an app to solve some of my own pain points. So I made TalkToYourBook (beta). The key things I want this tool to solve (differently) are: - Local first approach. So that I still can browse all my previous questions and answers even without the internet. (Indexing and asking question still depends on OpenAI, hopefully can do entire local approach later on) - Better privacy - I don't want the pdf/epubs leaving my device. Because we still need to create OpenAI embeddings, so only the first time indexing/embeddings will send content to OpenAI. - Using my own OpenAI API key. There is no 3rd party service/server involved. So the imported pdf/epub got saved directly on your device, the created indexes also stored on the device after first indexing (through OpenAI API) - I want to ask question to multiple books. So that I can get a better answer while at the same time still based on the grounded knowledge (vs OpenAI's entirely open ended answers) - All the questions and answers stored on the device. It's easy to export. As this is still in beta mode, there are features like exports or other LLMs planning to supported in the future. Features building in progress: - showing source documents metadata and browsing pdf directly on the app - export all the question and answers in markdown format - Save questions / answers - Search all previous questions - Customized prompt for the question Few feel to download and let me know what do you think, appreciate any feedbacks!
