I'm 13 and I Built an AI PDF Reader

#ai #opensource #buildinpublic #programming

Hey everyone,

My name is Adrián, and I'm a 13-year-old developer from Spain. I'm really excited to share this project I've built and launched.

It's an open-source AI PDF Reader. You can upload a document and then ask it questions directly, which is super helpful for finding information quickly without re-reading everything.

I developed this AI-enhanced PDF reader as a cross-platform desktop application using Electron and React. For the core functionalities, I utilized Redux for state management, PDF.js for rendering documents, and the OpenAI API to power the AI-driven explanations and chat features. The project is primarily built with JavaScript, along with HTML and CSS for the user interface.

The project is on GitHub, and I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback, ideas, or code suggestions from the community. My personal goal is to reach 150 stars!

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
