By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Gamma PDF is a new, self-hosted AI-native PDF reader designed for researchers and academics. It allows users to highlight, annotate, and draw on documents, with all marks saved to an integrated outliner that supports Markdown and LaTeX. The tool can connect to user-provided Anthropic or OpenAI API keys to answer questions about papers, citing answers directly to the relevant passages. Gamma PDF also offers features like automatic metadata extraction, BibTeX export, browser extensions, and integrations with other note-taking apps such as Zotero, Obsidian, Logseq, and Notion. AI

IMPACT Offers researchers a self-hosted, privacy-focused way to interact with their documents using LLMs.
