Overview
aipdfreader is an AI-powered reading tutor that transforms how you tackle dense documents like academic papers, textbooks, and technical reports. Instead of passive summaries, it renders each PDF page as an image and uses a vision model to read equations, figures, and layouts exactly as you see them. The companion then guides you page by page, asking questions and verifying your understanding through typed or spoken responses. It supports two modes: Tutor mode for active learning with comprehension checks, and Buddy mode for casual reading or translation. Voice input and output enable hands-free interaction, and features like region snip, zoom, and autoplay walkthroughs add flexibility. The first 50 pages are free; after that, a subscription unlocks unlimited use with no API keys or setup required.
