tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-18
GitHub project pdf-brain (joelhooks/pdf-brain, 436 stars) builds a local knowledge base for PDFs and Markdown files. It uses Ollama for LLM enrichment and embeddings, stores vectors in libSQL, and offers unified semantic search across papers, books, notes and docs — everything stays on your machine. A good fit for developers wanting a private RAG layer over personal files.
