Thank you for crafting and sharing this.

You mention that the generated PDFs are "particularly suitable for AI-based RAG and QA tasks" - can you please share your preferred method/tools for that?

I particularly like using Google NotebookLM, as it allows me to consolidate books and documents in one place for knowledge search.

Additionally, I have created GPTs that can have conversations about Tauri using PDFs as the source.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I was thinking of something local, especially in light of:

Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive PDF files without permission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40965892 .

Looks like GPT4All[1] and AnythingLLM[2] are worth exploring. There's also the closed-source macOS app RecurseChat[3,4] which appeared on HN a few months ago[5].

Exploring local solutions like GPT4All and AnythingLLM sounds promising. I'll also look into RecurseChat on macOS. Thanks again for the suggestions and for sharing the insights! Another tool that might be worth considering is Dify.
